Hoa Phuc Pagoda: Ceremony of Thanking Dharma - The Dog's year-end photo exhibition
Update: 29/01/2019
As the original plan, the ceremony will be witnessed by Senior Venerable Thich Chan Tinh - Abbot of Hoang Phap Pagoda but for the wish-mind to enter the room one-self reading Tripitaka of the Sutra from more than 20 years ago, therefore, he was not present at the ceremony on this time. However, Venerable Thich Tam Hoa - abbot of Hoa Phuc pagoda and monks and Buddhists still prepared a seat to preach dharma and displayed ritual of offerings, thinking that Senior Ven. Chan Tinh - the Master of the pagoda, today is still present at here.
The youths and Buddhists of Hoa Phuc Pagoda performed "Religious Song" of Vietnamese Buddhism to offer the Master. In addition, the pictures of the Master were exhibited at the photo exhibition "10 years Hoa Phuc Pagoda on the path of propagating dharma", the model of Maitreya Spring "Master staying beside his disciples" was prepared by Buddhists to dedicate the Venerable.
Understanding sorrow of Buddhists when the Senior venerable was absent, Ven. Thich Tam Hoa opened the recording video letter of announcement and goodbye was sent by the Master to his disciples. Ven. Thich Tam Hoa preached about the Master's cultivating wish and dharma propagating to help Buddhists more joyful and better understanding about him.
Next, Venerable Thich Tam Hoa presented 35 Tet gift portions, each worth 300,000 VND to share and encourage difficult Buddhists in the monastery. In the afternoon, under guiding of the Ven., pagoda organized a rite of meal giving to lone souls and releasing creatures on the year-end.
Here are some pictures of the ceremony:
