One-Day Practice

Good men and believing women everywhere gathered at Hoang Phap pagoda to attend One-day Practice on June 01st, 2025.

All Buddhists came to the lecture halls of Dharma Wheel Building to begin reciting the Buddha name, walking meditation and chanting precepts.

 

 After the practice, Senior Thich Phap Dang, Head of Director Board of Thong Nhat district’s Vietnam Buddhist Sangha, Abbot of Hue Vien pagoda (Dong nai) had a dharma talk named Chanting the Buddha names and doing good deeds.

 

Reciting Buddha's name and doing good deeds are essential ways for practitioners to perfect themselves and direct to enlightenment. Doing good deeds is not only about external actions but also about good words and thoughts, giving up evil and diligently doing good deeds. Those practitioners need to understand cause and effect, take it as the basis for living morally, always reflecting and cultivating themselves to become better. Good deeds are also created by complying with Five Precepts, giving alms without fear to bring joy and peace to others. Reciting Buddha's name is a way to cultivate wisdom, helping the mind to be at peace, overcoming afflictions and increasing wisdom, which is thanks to learning from scriptures, enlightened masters and diligent practice. When cultivating blessings and wisdom are combined, practitioners will have a happy life in the present, sow good causes for the next life and get closer to enlightenment and deliverance.

 

The dharma talk ended with the joy of the mass.

 

After reciting the Buddha name Buddhists practiced sitting meditation quietly in the afternoon.

 

Before leaving the temple, Buddhists received book gifts.
