After having breakfast, all Buddhists came to the lecture halls of Dharma Wheel Building to begin reciting the Buddha's name, walking meditation and chanting precepts.
Three ringing drums and bells resounded to welcome the Most Thich Minh Hoi, the Abbot of Nhu Lai Thien Tu, San Diego, California, USA, together with monks and nuns of neighbouring monasteries, peacefully came to the lecture hall to teach dharma. The Master had a conversation to answer questions sent by Buddhists.
From this response, the Most Venerable Thich Minh summed up the essentials of cultivation and practice to transform three poisons "Greed - Hatred - Ignorance". Because the greed for money, position, and fame has covered our perceptions, dominates our living, so we can't control our actions, words, and thoughts. Those things have caused anger to arise, leading to afflictions not having peace, making one wobbly without the specific and correct direction.
The Master instructed each Buddhist should have firm faith in the Three Jewels, keep and practice precepts for purity, with single-mindedness in thought, in the method that is suitable for each individual's capacity, such as Buddha recitation, mantra chanting, meditation sitting, etc, will help concentration arise; when having attained concentration, the practitioners can eliminate greed, hatred, and delusion. This is also a good condition for us to have a good and noble life, know how to do good and avoid evil, cultivate body mind and accumulate merit, become true disciples, have a good life, and benefit both ourselves and others.
After reciting the Buddha name in the afternoon, Buddhists practiced sitting meditation quietly.
Before leaving, Buddhists received a gift of Dharma.
