One-Day Retreat at Hue Quang Pagoda, Santa Ana, California, US

Continuing the preaching agenda, on Oct 11, 2017, Senior Venerable Thich Chan Tinh and monks from Hoang Phap Sangha came to Hue Quang pagoda for a one-day retreat.

 In the morning, after the opening session from the Most Venerable\r\n Abbot, Senior Venerable Thich Chan Tinh delivered Dharma talk to Buddhists. He\r\n explained that practicing and Dharma studying were more likely the recharge\r\n process helping us recover energy for daily activities.  According to him, large amount we earn in\r\n life cannot compare to the spiritual benefits we get from one-day retreat.

 Besides, Buddhists have been guided about Buddhism etiquette as how\r\n to properly and formally press palms together, bowing, kowtowing…

 In the afternoon, the course kept on with walking recitation,\r\n Uposatha rite (cleansing of the defiled mind)\r\n and sitting meditation. The retreat ended in the joys of all.

 In the evening, based on the invitation from devout Buddhists, the\r\n Senior Venerable came to Tu Bi Pagoda (Santa Ana, California) to hold Buddhism\r\n refuging rite for aspirants.
