Rev. Peter G. Vu is a Catholic priest of the Diocese of Grand Rapids, Michigan, for twenty years. He was born in Saigon City (currently Ho Chi Minh City), Viet Nam. Vu was a young boy when the Viet Nam War ended. He witnessed the war and the end of it with great horror and deep appreciation for peace. Vu had to grow up with the communist government system and endure lots of hardship with them for over a decade. What helped him and many of his countrymen tremendously during those dark days was their faith and prayers. Hence, a love for prayers and meditations was able to blossom. Also, Vu was able to learn and exchange new ideas on prayers and meditations with many of his Buddhist friends despite having different faith traditions.
