Repentance Ceremony

Update: 28/09/2015
In the evening of September 26th, 2016 (August, 15th Goat"s Year), before the ceremony, Buddhists listened to the sermon from the Venerable.
 

Repentance Ceremony

 
This time, the Buddhists were expected to understand the duality of life bringing the calmness against daily obstacles; Venerable Junior Thich Tam Trong explained the topic "Flower and Garbage".

Flower is something beautiful, which is expected to belong to themselves; Garbage is something ugly, which is not expected for themselves; therefore, we can imply that in this life what you want to reach as a cute child, a stable career, a good living environment, which is called a flower; Garbage is the thing we want to distance it, a bad situation like being born in a family of missing love, sickness, sudden misfortunes. In short, the message of this time, the Venerable wants to recommend to the Buddhists that â€œFlower and Garbage still supplement to each other - flowers in garbage, garbage in flowers. So all Buddhists have to face with suffering as garbage. If we evade suffering, we can not find the happiness. From the right view of suffering, we will have optimistic view on life, respect the things available for current living.
