The 9th Birthday of Dharmapala Team

In the afternoon of Jan. 3rd, 2021, the administration of Dharmapala Guardian Group held its 9th birthday party for all members at Hoang Phap pagoda.

Dharmapala Guardian Group formed in 2011 from the idea of gathering young Buddhist devotees to support Buddhism affairs. The administration also organized the tenet classes for young people to learn and understand more about Buddha teachings. Besides, there are also many exciting extracurricular activities for building the solidarity of the group more and more tightened. This is one of the most important factors making sustained growth and success for the team at present and in the future.

In response to the invitation of the Dharmapala Administrator, Junior Ven. Thich Tam Tri, on behalf of Hoang Phap sangha, gave a motivational talk to the group.

We have been floating on the stream of samsara with so many good and evil karma, never knowing where the karma stream will take us if we do not know how to bless ourselves. When we have merit and blessings, we easily approach good friends, good karma, the noble path in many fates of samsara.

The cultivation of seeds in the Three Jewels means we are cultivating good dharma in the future. Because the temple is a conducive environment for keeping morality, practicing good karma and this is a place that brings benefits and happiness to many people not only now but many generations later.

To creating merit by practicing ten virtues (generosity, morality ...), the important thing we should cultivate wisdom by listening to Dhamma to realize the good, the bad and do not attach  our good karma, always focus on the liberation of greed, hatred, delusion - the path of bodhi, enlightenment. Moreover, we should spread Dharma to everyone so that listeners can have come to the temple, dharma, the sangha ... it creates good conditions for ourselves on the path of rebirth.

During the ceremony, with the attendance of the monks, each of them shared a favorite sentence to attendees. Each sentence has a good intention of dedication, outlook on life, living mindfully ...

In this event, there is the recognition session with rewards for the qualified and best members of the Team.

The entertainment part followed the main session with the performances of Dharmapala members.
