The 2nd "One-day Peace" Retreat at Tu Phap Co Tu Pagoda
Update: 02/05/2022
In spite of the adverse weather in the morning, men and women Buddhists still return to the temple to attend the retreat, listening to monks share the Buddha's teachings.
Before the dharma talk, the monks held a rite to release creatures and chant sutra. Next, Junior Thich Tam Sy, the monks of Hoang Phap Pagoda, preached a dharma talk to the mass.
The monk said the Honored One 's appearance in the world is rare and difficult to meet. Buddhists are blessed, who have the opportunity to contact and learn His teachings. That is the reason why Bon Pagoda held One-day Retreat on the occasion of the Buddha birth anniversary in the desire of Dharma from Buddhists.
The Venerable explained in detail how to understand the grace of the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha. From the reflection on the enlightenment of the Buddha and holy disciples of Him, the Junior Ven emphasized: if Buddhists can keep calm their minds, remembering to the grace of the Three Jewels, can be conquered their fear or body pain; the mind will be diligent in Buddhism, Dharma and Sangha. At that time, the practitioner's body is like a sacred shrine, because he is thinking about the Buddha, as well as the Buddha is residing in our mind.
In the afternoon, there was a rite of sitting meditation and chanting sutra.
