One-Day Retreat for Students (June 28th, 2026)

To support the young having an energetic day of spiritual learning, the June Student Retreat at the pagoda delivered meaningful lectures from monks and nuns, and a Gameshow program "Buddhism within me" to help young attendees access Buddhist teachings and apply the Buddha's words to their practical living in today's era.

 Beginning with the morning, the monks guided the students by a quiet meditation and walking meditation session amidst the fresh and peaceful weekend air.

 

After the chanting at 9:30 AM, Venerable Nun Thich Nu Chuc Hieu, abbess of Bodhi Monastery in the USA came to the Dharma Hall to preach a Dharma talk entitled "Stop Fearing" with the students.

 

It's a fact that the young unconsciously sacrifice what they truly desire to meet societal demands, leaving them feeling empty, comparing themselves to others, and harboring underlying fears. Therefore, the nun taught practical methods such as mindful breathing exercises to identify the root cause and transform that invisible fear. Furthermore, mindfulness helps the youth recognize the changing nature of things, see cause and effect, karma and the benefits of practicing loving-kindness. As a result, we can be strong and mindful enough not to be controlled by fears in life when our body and mind are at peace, filled with compassion and love.
