Hoang Phap Sangha Weekly Meeting

On Nov 20, 2017 (Oct 03, lunar calendar), in weekly Sangha meeting, based on the advices from Abbot Thich Chan Tinh, monks in Hoang Phap Sangha reviewed fundamentals in daily practicing as Buddhism etiquette, sutra/verse chanting, Buddha’s name recitation .

In secular world, costumes, cosmetics and accessories make people more beautiful, while on the spiritual path, Buddhism etiquette (how to go, stand, lie down, sit, press palms together, bow, kowtow properly), worship activities (sutra/verse chanting, Buddha’s name recitation) and practicing are helpful for monk’s cultivation, creating the exalted qualities of clergy men. Due to lack of mindfulness, the practice of these rites in the Sangha may be incorrect sometimes. It is necessary for everyone to review and set things right on the path to liberation. This is the goal of this meeting.

 

Additionally, monks had the opportunity listening to the Abbot sharing his vision and plan in preaching in coming time as well as how to build up a traditional Vietnamese pagoda. His talk gave monks useful knowledge and experience in Dharma preaching mission in future.
