Pratimoksa commandment rite

This rite is a chance for the monks to remind each other about the rules of practitioners to nurture good deeds, practice precepts, as well as increase cultivators' belief. The main purpose of commandments every fortnight is to preserve the Sangha's life in the spirit of harmony and purity.

The ceremony was attended by Senior Thich Chan Tinh, abbot of Hoang Phap Pagoda and Sangha in the pagoda.

Opening, Junior Thich Tam Vuong offered incense to the Buddha and then performed Buddhist traditional ritual. The next part is the declaration of Buddhist laws.
