Repentant Ceremony
Update: 31/07/2019
As usual, before the ceremony, there is a Dharma Talk shared by a monk, today Ven. Thich Tri Thong had a talk on the title of “Who Am I”
Who is called “I”
From where comes here
Drive me to crazy
Over the samsara!
Most people think this life, this body belongs to them so they try to hold, to grasp what they love and like. According to the Buddha teaching, our name, age, position, potential, fame, … are not ourselves but the cover outside. Because of ignorance, we can not determine all relationship in life caused by conditions and karma, so instead of stopping, we build more and more, we set up a complex interdependence and firm system in the samsara. The only way to stop suffering is ego-eliminating, permanence-realizing, attachment-dropping. Besides that, we have cultivated non-hatred, non-greed, and patient-practice for further mind cultivation.
By this, he advises people to take a sit every day for looking back inside and develop their mind from the worldly concerns. When our mind gets calm and clear, we will know what is good for our practice way, what can bring happiness for self and others and finally we all know who are we!
Finish the talk people all take the ceremony as usual.
