Shining World Compassion Award Recipient: Lê Văn Đinh – The Humble Life-Saving Mechanic

Today’s Shining World Award program features a compassionate motorbike mechanic who devotes his time to assisting road accident victims in Quảng Trị Province, Âu Lạc, also known as Vietnam. Lê Văn Đinh has a workshop located near a busy national highway where accidents frequently occur. Knowing that, he used his savings to buy a car so that he can quickly transport the accident victims to the hospital without charging them any money. Taking calls at all hours of the day and night, whenever there is someone who needs help, he rushes to the scene to provide first aid and CPR if needed and then transports them to a medical care facility as quickly as possible.

The compassionate mechanic talked about some memorable moments during the time he has done this life-saving work. He also humbly shared his heartfelt message to all viewers. “Regarding the voluntary work, it’s something that should be very necessary in life. And in my opinion, since there is modern communication and fast spreading of information, I dearly wish that this kind of voluntary work and ambulance model should be doubled and multiplied.”

Upon hearing about his compassionate deeds, our Most Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai offered Lê Văn Đinh the “Shining World Compassion Award and a loving contribution of US$10,000 in support of your benevolent work, with all love, gratitude and high regard for your generous and caring spirit. May you and all involved be forever shielded and blessed in Heaven’s embrace.”

“Dear Lê Văn Đinh, It is with great admiration and gratitude that we present to you the ‘Shining World Compassion Award’ for your passionate commitment to assist road victims and the less fortunate in Âu Lạc (Vietnam). This Award is presented in recognition of your loving kindness and support of the community. You are a shining example of the gentle, beautifully natured people of Âu Lạc (Vietnam). May you and all involved be forever shielded in Heaven’s embrace. With Love and Blessings in Buddha’s Protection Supreme Master Ching Hai”

In addition to helping the road accident victims, the compassionate man also wishes to build an orphanage to support disadvantaged youngsters in his area. Deeply touched by his noble and caring heart, Master arranged “to gift another extra fund of US$15,000 towards the building of the orphanage, with a big hug and love in Heaven’s Mercy.”
