One - Day Retreat at Giai Lam pagoda in Ha Tinh

On Oct. 16th, 2022 (Sep. 21st, LC), Buddhists everywhere returned to Giai Lam Pagoda in Ha Tinh province (belonging to the Hoang Phap’s custom) to attend One-day Retreat.

At 8:00 a.m., the Buddhists came to the main hall to review the Buddhist demeanor by the guidance of monks. Next, the audience listened to a dharma talk from Junior Thich Tam Luc, Head of the Organizers.

Pure Land is a method that relies on the faith to establish, and based on belief to maintain. One has no firm faith, even if the temple's door is wide open, it will not be easy to enter. When practitioners can have faith, they practice to achieve their aspirations. Therefore, Faith, Vow, and Practice are called the three-dharma importance of preparation to the Pure Land.

By his teachings, he reminded Buddhists if one of these three things is missing, it is difficult to return to the Pure Land, because these three things are closely related. First of all, we must have deep faith to make a vow by making sincere vows to practice diligently. If a practitioner has no faith, absolutely vows and practice cannot be accomplished.

After the Dharma talk, the practitioners joined the Buddha recitation session.

In the afternoon, the cultivation program continued the Buddha recitation session, meditation walking, and reminded precepts by the monks.

 The day of practice ended in the joy of the mass.
