Charity Board: Supporting cancer patients to attend One-Day Practice

Charity Board and Oncology Club at Hoang Phap pagoda assisted 92 patients of Cancer Hospital and Blind people gathering at the pagoda to attend One-Day Practice on June 01st, 2025.

After having breakfast, Buddhists came to the lecture hall of area C to begin reciting the Buddha's name, walking meditation and chanting Buddhists’ basic precepts.  Next, all patients listened to a Dharma talk named "Reciting the Buddha names and doing good deeds" preached by Senior Thich Phap Dang, Head of Director Board of Thong Nhat district’s Vietnam Buddhist Sangha, Abbot of Hue Vien pagoda (Dong nai).

 

   Finishing reciting the Buddha name in the afternoon, Buddhists practiced sitting meditation quietly.

 

 Before all attendees leaving the temple, Junior Thich Tam Hue gave gift portions including envelopes and milk to 92 patients and the blind. The amount 14,000,000 given by the Donors, such as: Buddhist Thien Linh - District 7 supported 4,600,000 VND; 2,000,000 VND of Ms Liem; 4,400,000 VND of a Buddhist; 3,000,000 VND of Phuong Ngoc rice.

 

     The monk praised the patients' difficult overcoming spirit, although the body was sick but the mind was not. He advised them to take refuge in Three Jewels, diligently recite Buddha's name, study and practice Buddha's teachings, then will have a peaceful and happy life.

 

 The day of cultivation ended in the joy of participants.
