Dharma talk: Steeling oneself for the inside, preaching Junior Thich Minh Thanh - The third day of temporary ordination retreat for Children in Summer 2024

On July 24th, 2024 is the third day of the retreat. The monks guided the children to do exercise and learnt some martial arts moves for self-defense in the energy full of the beginning of a new day.

The learners gathered in the main lecture hall to recite the poem "Lessons Learned When Visiting Buddhist Temples" composed by Most Thich Chan Tinh after breakfast. By this, the Most taught them necessary demeanor and how to address each other when coming to the temple.

At 9:00 a.m, Junior Thich Minh Thanh gave a Dharma talk on the topic "Steeling oneself for the inside" to the children.

The monk skillfully instilled in the children the spirit of the eagle chicken story: live with determination, persevere, set a plan for studying well, focus on the set goals, improve oneself, become a useful person for society, a filial son.

The children played with all their heart with many physical games, demonstrating the strength of team spirit and interacting between families in the afternoon.

All of them together sat down and wrote about their feelings about their mother, about their father, and their emotions after three days of studying at the temple in the evening.
