Before the ceremony Ven. Thich Tam Hong – Hoang Phap’s monk\r\nhad a Drama talk on the topic: “Being a Child Never Forgot it”. He told stories\r\nalternating to the Buddha’s teachings in the Sutra “Repaying to Parents’ Great\r\nKindness”. He led attendants to the simple things, but truly about the parents’\r\nkindness and the children’s duties. In addition, according to the Buddha’s\r\nteachings, the care and the love to parents are good and necessary. However, it\r\nwill be important that encouraging parents to understand dharma, respect and\r\nbelieve Three Precious Germs, which means the way to repay parents beneficially\r\nand everlastingly.
