The 5th day of Summer Retreat 2025 “The Good Mind Youth”

In the morning full of mindfulness and contentment on July 14th, 2025 is the fifth day of the retreat, all students chanted the sutra-poem "Remembering gratitude" and recited the Buddha names.

After having the breakfast, all students listened to a dharma talk named It's not a miracle, but why… preached by Junior Thich Khai Tuan, Monks of Truc Lam Phu Yen Monastery, Đắk Lắk Province.

 

Every meeting is a precious dependent origin among the countless causes and conditions in life. When knowing to stop, breathe deeply and look clearly, we will see every person passing our life is a miraculous gift. Let all causes and conditions stop at the word love, because only love can soothe the suffering, water the peace in each soul. Be a cool stream, soothe the wounds of life so that every meeting becomes a miracle. Miracles are not far away, they are present in the breath, the smile, the eyes that know to understand and tolerate. Perhaps, the most miraculous among the myriads of dependent origins is to become the child of our parents, relying on unconditional love, where we learn to grow up with the protection and patience of our family.

  

Last, the monk took the time to answer questions surrounding his topic of the sermon.
