One-Day Peaceful Retreat at Dang Phap Pagoda

On July 30th, 2023, Dang Phap Pagoda in Binh Phuoc province (belonging to Hoang Phap pagoda) organized the One-Day Peaceful Retreat. After coming to the main hall and stabilizing the ashram at 8a.m, all practitioners began the practice of Buddha name reciting.

Next, Junior Abbot Thich Tam Quang came to the ashram to preach a Dharma talk named The way of Ten-karma goodness translated by Tam Tạng Thật Xoa Nan Đà.

The monk taught about Buddhist expressions of aggregates, bases, precepts, etc. to help listeners understand clearly about the origin of Ten-good Sutra and related causality.

If one gives up killing, those will achieve ten-thing quitting anger and frustration, as following:

1_ Meeting sentient beings will endow fearlessness

2_ Often towards sentient beings arouse Great Compassion (Māhā-maitra-citta)

3_ Cut off all anger completely

4_ The body is usually not sick

5_ Have a long life

6_ Always protected by the god

7_ Usually no nightmares. Sleep soundly, wake up with pleasure

8_ Free and eliminate enmity.

9_ There is no fear of evil realm

10_ When a practitioner dies, one will be reborn in Heaven. All of the above are ten.

If a practitioner often dedicates its merit to the Buddha-enlightenment fruition, then later when becoming a Buddha, one will be able to live freely depending on the Buddha mind.

After lunch, the mass took a rest.

In the afternoon, the mass had the Buddha name reciting, and meditation walking. Before returning home, the monks presented book gifts named: Paramita Buddha reciting to the mass.
