The 6th day of Summer Retreat 2025 “The Good Mind Youth”

In the morning full of mindfulness and contentment on July 15th, 2025 is the sixth day of the retreat, all students chanted the sutra-poem "Remembering gratitude".

At 8: 00 a.m., all students listened to a dharma talk named Unborn babies' dream preached by Junior Thich Minh Thien, Monks of Duc Hoa pagoda, Di An ward, HCMC.

 

As moral values are gradually neglected due to the temptations and loose lifestyles of modern society, abortion of the young is becoming an alarm bell. The monk spoke on behalf of the little creatures who had not yet been born, who once had a simple dream to be born, live, be loved like any other child in life. Just because of the rashness and hindrances of adults, unborn babies do not deserve to be rejected, they only hope to be recognized as “children” of their parents to be remembered and loved.

 

The sermon is a warning to the youth: Follow moral standards, cultivate the compassion of a Buddhist disciple, know when to stop, have the courage to overcome temporary desires. In case of making mistakes, be brave to face them, take responsibility so that suffering will no longer continue by ignorance and sin.

  

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