Update: 29/11/2019
In the evening of November 25, 2019 (on October. 29th, Year of Pig), accepting the invitation from Junior Ven. Thich Tam Quang, Abbot Dang Phap Pagoda, Junior Ven. Thich Tam Hanh had a dharma talk to all Buddhists on the topic “Why do we cultivate?”
In this life, we will get many unexpccted things, causing negativity and suffering to ourselves and others. Therefore, we begin to cultivate, towards the ideal of enlightenment and liberation. In the process of practice, we are sometimes diligent, sometimes backward. Therefore, in order to advance on the path of practice, we need to overcome the factors that cause us to fall back. When we have progress, it is easy to be complacent and arrogant.
Therefore, if we want to progress in order to persevere, we must gradually eliminate this nature as well as not allow fame and profit to dominate. If each person practices like this, the result of peace and happiness will come, without the expectation.
After the Dharma talk, the mass entered the repentant ceremony as usual.
After that, the masses gathered on the main hall to recite a sutra. Next, Junior Ven. Thich Tam Hanh had Dharma talk with ethnic minority people S’tiêng on the topic ‘Cultivation Like Planting Trees’.
In the Dharma talk, he has skillfully explained the practice like planting trees to help ethnic minority people understand and absorb it. According to the Ven., if you want to plant a good tree or garden, get productivity, you have to choose seeds, take care of it, catch its worms, water regularly, so that you can harvest high crops.
The Dharma talk ended in the happiness of the audience.
