Retreat for Students
One-Day Retreat for Students – July 26th, 2026.
Update: 26/07/2026
Hundreds of students gather at Hoang Phap Pagoda to attend "One Day Retreat for Students" in an atmosphere of peace and serenity on a Sunday in late July 2026.
The day of practice began with a meditation course in front of the main hall under the monks’ guidance in the morning.
At 9:30 a.m., after the sutra chanting, the students listened to a Dharma talk named “The return” delivered by Junior Thich Đạt Ma Huy Bảo, Deputy Abbot of Buu Nghiem Pagoda (Thu Dau 1 City, Binh Duong Province).
The word "return" often evokes the image of someone returning to their ancestral land and people to visit their homeland and parents. However, there is a deeper "return" from a Buddhist perspective that few discover: the path to finding one's own pure and tranquil inner self.
Returning to a tranquil mind is noble because our minds easily dwell on negative thoughts and are easily led astray when they lack a place of refuge amidst the unpredictable ups and downs of life.
By taking refuge in the Three Jewels and observing the Five Precepts, Buddhists elevate their consciousness. Living with mindfulness, wisdom, and love allows them to understand and ease their own suffering as well as that of their families, allowing everyone to live fully in peaceful moments.
