Nun Giac Le Hieu is known to many Vietnamese people through her videos on TikTok teaching Dharma. She has also made many notable statements, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nun Giac Le Hieu, born in 1988, is a young Vietnamese nun famous for her many admirable achievements and positive contributions to Buddhism. It is known that she is the first Vietnamese person to graduate with a doctorate in Buddhist studies from Dongguk University - one of the largest and most prestigious Buddhist schools in Korea.

This achievement not only affirms her extensive knowledge but also proves her constant efforts. Although she does not use personal social networks, Sister Giac Le Hieu is very popular on all platforms, especially TikTok, where she has a channel with more than 790,000 followers. Her Dharma teaching videos attract hundreds of thousands of views, showing her great influence on young people.

Born into a Buddhist family, nun Giac Le Hieu was exposed to the noble teachings of Buddhism from a young age. Her dream of becoming a nun motivated her to constantly strive to study. After graduating with honors in Korean Studies from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City National University (in 2010), she decided to go to Korea to study and quickly completed her master's degree.

In 2014, following the call of her heart, nun Giac Le Hieu returned to Vietnam and became a nun, officially entering the path of religious practice as she had originally wished. After that, she completed the basic Buddhist studies program in Vietnam and graduated with honors. However, because Vietnam did not have a Buddhist studies program at the doctoral level, she had to go to Korea to continue her studies and research.

During her studies, nun Giac Le Hieu took on the role of Member of the International Propagation Committee and Member of the Buddhist Culture Committee of the Jogye Order. After four years of hard work, she became the first Vietnamese to successfully defend her doctoral thesis in Buddhism in Korea, opening a new chapter for her Dharma propagation career.

With a PhD in hand, nun Giac Le Hieu founded the Buddhism Today group in Korea and actively propagated the Dharma. In addition, she also played an important role as a bridge between Vietnamese Buddhist culture and other countries, specifically Korea.

Since its establishment, the Dao Phat Ngay Nay monastery under the leadership of nun Giac Le Hieu has become a spiritual home for the Vietnamese community in Korea. Not only opening meditation courses, the monastery also regularly organizes charity activities, supporting people in difficult times, especially during the epidemic season. Warm meals and practical gifts have brought joy and warmth to many people.

In addition, nun Giac Le Hieu and Buddhists also actively campaigned to build a Vietnamese temple in South Korea by calling for donations from benefactors and selling agricultural products that Buddhists supported. With the aim of creating a spiritual space for the community and spreading the spirit of compassion and charity.

When asked: "After the Covid-19 pandemic, many people returned to the temple to seek religious support. After listening many times, how did you see people's psychology change?", nun Giac Le Hieu shared: Every time the Covid-19 pandemic is mentioned, she feels shaken and gets goosebumps.

Because the nun has people who are very close and dear to her, who texted her the day before and then only brought her an urn of ashes the next day. When the pandemic broke out, the nun only bowed to Buddha and prayed, and she prayed that everyone was still alive, which was a miracle, a gift they had given her.

After the pandemic, we can clearly feel the impermanence that Buddha taught on our skin. We keep hating each other, fighting each other, and being jealous of each other, but what if tomorrow we are just a jar of ashes lying there?

Then this urn, this handful of ashes, does it know how to hate people, then the person I hate, even the person I love, that is the urn, then what can I do now. So the most important thing is the human body, I still have my body here, my loved ones are still there for each other today".

Regarding how to use social networks to avoid bad karma, nun Giac Le Hieu expressed: "On social networks, we live a virtual life but karma is real, so I hope everyone can be moderate when using it. A harmless word from us, a comment criticizing others, body shaming or a negative assessment of anyone can be a knife that pushes someone to the end of the road.

And this is indirectly or directly, we create very heavy karma. Secondly, there are many people who, because of false, fabricated, and distorted information, lose their entire career and family happiness, and choose to leave. It is clear that we ourselves have created karma, no different from directly harming others.

So when we want to comment to curse, we have to consider what will happen if one day we are like that, just like that, we will stop a lot of bad karma on social networks now. Cultivating the karma of speech is cultivating half of our life, everyone."
