Wait

A Love Letter to Those in Despair

By: Cuong Lu

Pause, find connection, and choose peace rather than harm when you feel overwhelmed in the crashing ocean of life. You are the calm of the ocean, not the pounding wave. The tumultuous, confusing, and unbearable feelings that arise in life will never overtake your true essence and the peace you can find below the surface. Written as a love letter to those in pain, Wait encourages us to seek out a path to peace and freedom from suffering. Cuong Lu, a long-time disciple of Thich Nhat Hanh, personally witnessed a shooting while fleeing Vietnam in 1975. The memory of this trauma prompted him to dedicate his life to sharing the wisdom of deep listening, finding understanding, and in his words, "defusing the bombs in our hearts." We have waited long enough for the violence to stop. Now is the time to help turn the tide, interrupt the cycle of violence, and create a world where love and understanding thrive.

Holomorphic Dynamical Systems

Lectures given at the C.I.M.E. Summer School held in Cetraro, Italy, July 7-12, 2008

By: Nessim Sibony,Dierk Schleicher,Dinh Tien Cuong,Marco Brunella,Eric Bedford,Marco Abate

The theory of holomorphic dynamical systems is a subject of increasing interest in mathematics, both for its challenging problems and for its connections with other branches of pure and applied mathematics. A holomorphic dynamical system is the datum of a complex variety and a holomorphic object (such as a self-map or a vector ?eld) acting on it. The study of a holomorphic dynamical system consists in describing the asymptotic behavior of the system, associating it with some invariant objects (easy to compute) which describe the dynamics and classify the possible holomorphic dynamical systems supported by a given manifold. The behavior of a holomorphic dynamical system is pretty much related to the geometry of the ambient manifold (for instance, - perbolic manifolds do no admit chaotic behavior, while projective manifolds have a variety of different chaotic pictures). The techniques used to tackle such pr- lems are of variouskinds: complexanalysis, methodsof real analysis, pluripotential theory, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, topology. To cover all the possible points of view of the subject in a unique occasion has become almost impossible, and the CIME session in Cetraro on Holomorphic Dynamical Systems was not an exception.

Dynamic Programming in Economics

By: Cuong Van,Rose-Anne Dana

Dynamic Programming in Economics is an outgrowth of a course intended for students in the first year PhD program and for researchers in Macroeconomics Dynamics. It can be used by students and researchers in Mathematics as well as in Economics. The purpose of Dynamic Programming in Economics is twofold: (a) to provide a rigorous, but not too complicated, treatment of optimal growth models in infinite discrete time horizon, (b) to train the reader to the use of optimal growth models and hence to help him to go further in his research. We are convinced that there is a place for a book which stays somewhere between the "minimum tool kit" and specialized monographs leading to the frontiers of research on optimal growth.

The Buddha in Jail

Restoring Lives, Finding Hope and Freedom

By: Cuong Lu

This is a book of 52 vignettes—stories and teachings about Cuong Lu’s six years as a prison chaplain. Lu shares insights into the prisoner’s mindset, something with implications for us all, whether or not we are in a conventional jail. As a prison chaplain, Cuong discovered that when the men inside allowed themselves to feel their pain—including remorse from committing crimes—knowing and feeling the truth became a source of strength for them. And when the inmates felt listened to, understood, and not judged, it transformed their sense of who they are, and as a result changed their attitudes and their behavior. This book is not just about the prisoners. It’s about all of us. We’re each caught in distorted and limiting ideas of ourselves. We don’t believe freedom and happiness are attainable. But when we come to believe in ourselves, we discover the freedom and happiness already within. Cuong Lu, Buddhist teacher, scholar, and writer, was born in Nha Trang, Vietnam, in 1968. He majored in East Asian studies at the University of Leiden, and in 1993 was ordained a monk at Plum Village in France under the guidance of Thich Nhat Hanh. In 2000, he was recognized as a teacher in the Lieu Quan line of the Linji School of Zen Buddhism. In 2015, he received a master’s degree in Buddhist Spiritual Care at Vrije University in Amsterdam. Lu is the founder of Mind Only School, in Gouda, the Netherlands, where he teaches Buddhist philosophy and psychology, specializing in Yogachara Buddhism combined with the Madhyamaka (Middle Way) School of Nagarjuna.

Finite Dimensional Convexity and Optimization

By: Monique Florenzano,Cuong Le Van

This book discusses convex analysis, the basic underlying structure of argumentation in economic theory. Convex analysis is also common to the optimization of problems encountered in many applications. The text is aimed at senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and specialists of mathematical programming who are undertaking research into applied mathematics and economics. The text consists of a systematic development in eight chapters, and contains exercises. The book is appropriate as a class text or for self-study.

Investment and Agricultural Development in Developing Countries

Investment and Agricultural Development in Developing Countries

The Case of Vietnam

By: Cuong Tat Do

The standard policy prescription to enhance the productivity of agriculture in a developing country like Vietnam is first to encourage the investment of farmers in their human and social capital and then to change the governmental institutions to facilitate the farmers investment. This book, therefore, analyzes the investment of farmers in their health, education, and social relationships in the context of Vietnams recent agrarian transition. Using the tools of regression analysis, the author has tried to measure the rate of return of investment in health, education, and social relationship of farmers on their income. Additionally, to measure the effect of local government policy on the performance of agricultural firms at the provincial level, the book applies current techniques to estimate the relationship between output of agricultural firms and performance of local government. As in other low-developed countries, the rate of return of investment in education is quite extreme and the rate of investment in health is small. The effect of investment in social capital of farmers on their income is quite complex due to the complication of the term social capital. Moreover, the effect of quality of local institutions on performance of agricultural firms at the provincial level is not quite statistically significant. The relationship is similar with other research findings worldwide when researchers want to measure the effect of quality of institution on the performance of firms.

God's Crucible: We Who Dream of a Better Life

By: Cuong Quy Huynh

It was around two a.m. "Wake up, wake up," called my mother. "We are leaving!" "We must leave our home!" I was fortunate to not die in the open sea along with the over 300,000 individuals trying to escape from Vietnam...and that was only the beginning of the suffering for survival! For more than 500 years, people from all over the world have made their way to America. We have become, in the words of Israel Zangwill, "God's Crucible," the great melting pot where all the races are converging and reforming. Cuong Quy Huynh, J.D., M.P.P. is the Founder and President of the Enlightened Initiative, a non-profit that invests and empowers refugee and immigrant youth across the United States. As a former refugee from Vietnam, Cuong's story and the stories of refugee and immigrant youth around the world illustrate the power of resilience, hard work, commitment, and the love of family and community. The stories demonstrate their dedication and perseverance to overcome difficulties and obstacles in coming to America and their lives living in this nation. Cuong and his wife, Jesecca, have one daughter. Both Cuong and Jesecca have combined over 25 years of volunteer services including serving and investing in the vulnerable youth. They are based in Northern Virginia.
