One - Day Practice

On Dec. 20th, 2020 (Nov. 7th, Year of Mouse), Hoang Phap pagoda held One-day Practice for all good men and believing women everywhere to attend.

After breakfast, practitioners gathered at the Dharma Wheel Building to begin reciting Buddha's name, walking meditation and chanting precepts.

In the recent retreat were confidences about the predestination of three invited monks being siblings in the family then becoming three monks in the same temple. This time, one of those three monks shared more thoroughly the conditions of knowing the Dharma, turning the family according to the religion, the path of personal practice and building a temple, following in the examples of his Master. That monk is Junior Ven. Thich Tam Huong, Abbot of Suoi Phap Pagoda (Suoi Ngo, Tay Ninh).

Growing up in an unhappy family, without having access to teaching from the spiritual place, he has had a childhood with many mistakes. From the day of understanding the Dharma, he has gradually changed as well as transforming his family. Next, he revealed his emotions about the life of cultivation, loving stories of a person who knows the Dharma, and years of ups and downs about study, practice and propaganda. All of this shows that Buddhism appeared in life with the aim of directing people to goodness, arousing love in each person, living with good values, living "a good life" for religion and sentient beings.

The monk had a few messages to those who wish to propagate the Dharma that practitioners should persevere, practice well to improve themselves, take advantage of the necessary things to develop temples, bring Buddhism to people, all will gain a gentle, peaceful life.

After ending the Buddha recitation time in the afternoon, Buddhists practiced sitting meditation together.

Before leaving, the participants received a dharma gift.
