One-Day Practice

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

In response to the Organizers’ invitation, Senior Thich Quang An, Teacher of Tan Binh Buddhist Primary School - HCMC preached the topic: What purpose is the reciting Buddha's name?

According to the spirit of Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism, reciting Buddha's name is not only a wish to be reborn Pure land but also a practice that aims to transform the inner feelings. The nature of reciting Buddha's name is to contemplate the Buddha's grace, taking His image and holy name as the object to control the mind, keeping the mind mindful in reality, eliminating delusions and then giving rise to wisdom and compassion. When the mind is focused on the Buddha's name, the ability to concentrate and develop wisdom will help the practitioner gradually escape the greed, anger, and ignorance which are the root causes of suffering. Therefore, reciting Buddha's name is not only a means to seek rebirth in the Pure Land, but also a path to peace, purifying the mind and attaining Nirvana right in the present.

The practitioner needs steadfast faith, diligent practice, meanwhile must let go of attachments or desires, keep the mind pure and peaceful in each thought to achieve the above results.

The Dharma talk ended in joy for all attendees.

After reciting the Buddha name, Buddhists practiced sitting meditation quietly in the afternoon. Before leaving the temple, Buddhists received dharma book gifts.
