One-Day Retreat for Students
Update: 26/04/2026
The students returned to Hoang Phap pagoda on the evening of April 25th, 2026 to sit together around the warm fire as the youthful flaming enthusiasm within them. That light under the pagoda roof connected wandering souls in this fast-paced era through songs, teachings from Venerable Dao Tin and a complete presence together amidst the worries and anxieties of life. The monk's sincere words reminded the young of the tradition of "drinking water, remembering the source" in harmony with the nation's joyful atmosphere on the anniversary of Hung King death.
Over 600 students from colleges and universities in HCMC on Sunday of April 26th, 2026 came to Hoang Phap Pagoda to attend "One-Day Retreat for Students" with theme “Quietness to listen to the earth sing”, there are things of the past that have never faded by the firelight.
According to the retreat schedule, young attendees have a yoga course to have the opportunity to feel each of their own movements and breaths. Students participated in the "Amazing race" game at 2:00 pm.
Guiding the young learners toward the path of meditation to transform complex inner emotions, Junior Thich Phap Nhat’s profound and warm words helped the listeners quietly observe and recognize the good values they possess, and cultivate their "inner soil" with seeds of goodness. He emphasized that all brilliant achievements are built on the foundation of filial piety towards parents and a life of "full awareness" in each breath. These two simple things are the strongest anchors, protecting us from all the fierce storms of life, because the biggest attainments of each person are their ability to manage their own emotions.
