Repentance ceremony on Nov. 14th, year of the Dragon

On Dec. 14h, 2024 (Nov. 14th, LC), good men and believing women inside and outside HCMC returned to Hoang Phap pagoda to attend a periodical penitential rite. Junior Thich Tam Thuc, Monks of Hoang Phap pagoda had a dharma talk named Having peace of mind before the rite.

The method of peace of mind will help the mind to be tranquil; to find a way to be tranquil, we must first understand why the mind is not at peace? Each of us wants peace and happiness but we forget the happiness comes from the inside, is right in each present moment. Knowing how to return to enjoy, practitioners will dwell and live fully with each breath, helping us find peace of mind in mindfulness.

 

The monk guided the mass to "peace of mind" by practicing the methods of mindfulness of breathing, mindfulness of death, ... methods of nurturing, healing and transforming the body and mind to be stable and happy must be practiced to have practical value. Therefore, the most important thing is that when coming into contact with and learning Buddhism, we must apply it to our living to achieve the peace of mind that we always desire.
