The monk emphasized the keeping of one's speech and karma when faced with a problem that arose dissatisfaction.
During the Dharma talk, the Senior Ven. told stories in the sutras about the retribution of evil speech, the dangers of those who have bad words,such as: being disliked by the mass, many people hate, the mind is often confused when dying, and after his dying, he will be born into the evil realm. He also talked about some methods of burying the deceased in some countries in India and Tibet to remind the mass that our body is fake temporary, made up of four elements, the body is "dust will return dust." Buddhists should not devote too much energy to the body, but rather focus on the practice, transforming suffering, preparing their necessary things - the karma at present and the future.
Next, the mass listened to the song Sand Dust of Life, once again feeling the impermanence of life and meditating on the body of human life.
In the afternoon, after ending the Buddha recitation time, Buddhists practiced sitting meditation together.
