One Day Retreat in Can Tho

On March 20th - 21th, 2021, Junior Thich Tam Hue, the Monks and Buddhists at Hoang Phap Pagoda came to Minh Chat Retreat in Can Tho to organize One day Retreat.

On the evening of March 20, 2021, the delegation chanted the  sutra of Liang-Wu-Ti and listened to a dharma talk from Junior Ven. Thich Tam Hong with the topic named Living Happily in Life. Everyone's life will spend all sorts of happy and sad states. If we accept everything, it will pass; otherwise, we will face it in many different forms. The more we hate it, the more they will come, until we happily accept, it will be over.

In the morning of March 21st, 2021, monks and Buddhists chanted the Surangama mantra and recited the Buddha's name.

After breakfast, monks instructed demeanor rules as kowtow Buddha, bowing, offering meals for lunch, reciting Buddha's name, walking meditation, chanting precepts and then listened to a Dharma talk from Junior Ven. Thich Tam Ba with the topic Faith.

Trust is essential for every person in society, it is an environment for each to develop and self improve themselves. We should believe everyone has the ability to transform, self-improve and self-perfect. Buddhist ethics are based on the love for people - that is optimism for all things, for life. The belief of each person like a lotus flower, whether submerged in mud, underwater, not yet hatched or already in bloom, it is an important part of the Vietnamese Buddhist tradition.

In the afternoon of the same day, the mass started the Buddha recitation session and recited the precept.

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