In the current, 32 branches belong to Hoang Phap were founded and developed. Spending every single year for working and spreading Dharma everywhere, they all gather at the Grand Master’s Death Anniversary for recalling and sharing their experiences in the role of a new abbot. This nice tradition makes the Dharma Brotherhood become close and warm, contributes to a strong Sangha in future.

The meeting started with the hearted admonition from their master, Ven. Thich Chan Tinh. He had praised and encouraged the new abbot because they have a long and difficult stage ahead.

He also reminds the monks in keeping a balance between practicing and carrying dharma. Some pay too much attention to the act and forget their main duty. He suggests the monks should take the Grand Master life and works to follow.

Being a Dharma-carrier, one needs three qualities: wholeheartedness, ability, and morality. Therefore, disciples should be skillful in combination between study, work, and meditating. Keep it well, one can fulfill his duty conveniently.

To finish, he summed up the matter had been given and hoped the monks will be together and put more effort into the further development of Buddhism and for the benefit of all living beings.
