The 16th Dharma Talk Program: "Confidences in the life of cultivation".

On June 24th, 2021 (May 15th, Year of Buffalo), Junior Thich Tam Cung was the next monk shared in the sixteenth Dharma talk program "Confidences in the cultivation life". The monk retold the causes and conditions that helped him to know Buddhism, and then embarked on the practice's path.

The monk recalled about his boyhood being called "stubborn, naughty, and reasoned out" - a childhood filled with "rebellion and opposition". Next, he told about the past, about teachers, classmates, relatives... are good conditions that lead him step by step on the path to study Buddhism, although he has known many different religions at that time. Indeed, there are many good conditions in life that are very precious and let’s cherish them.

Next, he shared happy and sad stories when ordination, and becoming a new trainee. In monastic life, there will always be three flavors: sweet, bitter and pale. By being immersed in these three flavors, we gradually forget the original ideal; However, a strong emotion arose in his heart when he saw the spirit, energy and will of trainees who are probating in the beginning period of cultivation. Thanks to that, he wanted to return to that feeling, find the joy like in the early days, and re-experience the emotions when he first entered the pagoda.
