Dharma Talk “Maintaining Body and Mind” – The 93rd Seven-Day Retreat

On Dec. 7th, 2019 (Nov. 12th, LC), Ven. Thich Tam Sy had a talk to all the 93rd retreat course participants on the title of “Maintaining Body and Mind”.

In modern times, people chase only their material life and forget of maintaining their bodies and mind. Wisdom can not be found in a weak body, especially for the Buddhist practitioners who understand the connection of mind and body. Maintaining one’s body is not food providing or skin decorating but the ability of hard circumstances bearing to preserve a peaceful mind in any situation. About our mind, we must be careful in mind otherwise it causes the working of body and speech, it’s called mind maintaining. Be mindful and alert in every moment, drive them to the wholesome way. There are two ways to overpower our minds are taking wholesome deeds to subdue unwholesome deeds and taking proper attention to tame the arising of greed, hatred, and ignorance.

Some words he left to all after the talk is close to the virtuous one, avoid the bad deeds and develop the good deeds to maintaining one’s mind and body.
