Dharma Talk “Recite the Buddha-name in Consciousness” - The 90th Seven-Day Retreat

In the morning of Dec. 21st, 2018, Ven. Thich Tri Minh, lecturer of the Vietnamese Buddhist Institute Ho Chi Minh, the abbot of Hung Thanh temple located in Dong Nai, presented in the lecture hall for Dharma giving, and the title was “Recite the Buddha-name in Consciousness”.

On the Buddhist way, we are not seeking the happiness from outside, can’t find anywhere in the universe but inside, look back inside ourselves to find the three poisons from our body, speech, and mind. Take the Pure Land practice, we surely can eliminate our bad thoughts, purify our body, speech and mind by keeping continuous the Buddha-name in mind. Our consciousness will save whatever we create: what we have seen have left, have done… So why don’t we take this strong weapon to keep our good karma by chanting continuously the Buddha-name. When doing this, we stop making unwholesome deed from body, speech, and mind, drive the Buddha-name directly to our consciousness. In the future, this practice will bloom the lotus in the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha, the final goal of all Pure Land practitioners.
