From 13th-17th of June, 2023 Dang Phap Pagoda in Binh Phuoc province (belonging to Hoang Phap pagoda ‘s sect) officially held 1st Summer Retreat 2023 for young people inside and outside the province to attend.

In response to the invitation of Junior Thich Tam Quang, Abbot of Dang Phap Pagoda, Junior Thich Tam Duoc, the monks of Hoang Phap Pagoda had a dharma talk "Thanks to parents, teachers" to share with young people during the retreat.

Actually, the monks were happy to see nearly 300 young people had returned to Dang Phap pagoda to attend the retreat. This is a great opportunity for all of you to experience independent living away from home. We have wholesome roots, merit and good conditions to be able to be born as a human, thanks to a father and mother; or if we want to have knowledge, we must ask teachers to teach us. By Most Thich Chan Tinh of Hoang Phap Pagoda has taught: This our body belongs to our parents, who have shared flesh and blood for us to become human/ Thanks to father - mother, teacher/ Don't forget it, remember this grace for the rest of our life! Summer is returning again, the retreat is opened to create a suitable condition for young people to have an opportunity to return to the temple. They will kowtow the Buddha, visit the monks and nuns, have fun and learn moral lessons such as Three refugee, Five precepts, cause and effect, rules in the meditation door to know how to give up evil, do good; when return home, young learners will be filial children and good students, benefiting them and others.
