Hội Hướng
A Global Movement Rooted in Love and Remembrance
Nguyên Tâm
The Heart That Shaped Me
A Memoir by Nguyên Thủy

The Catalyst

In loving memory of my mother, this is my love letter to the woman who taught me that love itself can be both salvation and suffering, and that sometimes the greatest courage is found not in fighting back, but in continuing to love despite everything that tries to stop you. I present "Nguyên Tâm - The Heart That Shaped Me".

This memoir is more than my mother's journey; it's an invitation to discover the transformative power of maternal love and its capacity to shape lives across generations.

As we prepare to release this heartfelt tribute, we stand at the threshold of a global movement - a movement that seeks to honor the profound influence of those who shape our hearts and guide our paths.

The Hội Hướng Movement will awaken the world to the sacred connections that bind us, the legacies that sustain us, and the love that transcends even death itself.

All proceeds flow through Má's Merit Trust under monastic guidance
"True merit lives in the spaces between grand gestures: in steam rising from a shared bowl of cháo, in crayon butterflies drawn by small hands, in the unbearable courage to chant through tears. This is how we turn altars into action—not by escaping the world, but by hallowing its every breath. For in the soil of the mundane, amid bus transfers and grief and bánh bò, the lotus of enlightenment takes root." "For my Beloved mother, my first love, Nguyên Tâm (1947-2024) Who taught us that liberation smells of tiger balm, tastes of bún riêu, and sounds like a lullaby hummed between laundry loads. Your lotus blooms in every act of love we dedicate."
— Nguyên Thủy, "Nguyên Tâm - The Heart That Shaped Me"
