Praying before Examination

In June 30th, 2015 ( May 15th, Goat year ), nearly 200 students at 12th grade of Nguyen Van Cu and Ly Thuong Kiet high school gathered in Hoang Phap pagoda to pray before the graduation exam from high school and university-college entrance in 2015.

In the transquil and solemn setting of peace place, they seem to remove a part of their burden of the exam. Beside visiting and prostrating Buddha, they also listened to whole-hearted words from the  Venerables in pagoda, from which they will get valuable experiences in next exam as well as in life.

After finishing the vow ritual, they had a familiar meal with Monks and Buddhists in pagoda. Before leaving the pagoda, each received a Dharma gift including:

- Books of “Brief history of Sakyamuni” , “Human life”, “Still stay in happiness”.

- DVDs  of  the 7th Sunflower on “The source of  spiritual mind”, “ The talk about studying from Professor Ngo Bao Chau”.

- A VCD of “Don’t believe in strange things.”
