The Joyful Retreat at Tieu Dao Pagoda – Quang Ninh Province in October
Update: 20/11/2017
Accepting the invitation of Ven. Thich Tam Tinh – Member of Propagation Board of The Vietnamese Buddhist Congregation at Quang Ninh Province – The Abbot of Tieu Dao Pagoda and Ven. Thich Dao Hien, Deputy Department cum Secretary of the Vietnamese Buddhist Congregation at Quang Ninh Province had Dharma talk on the theme of " Six Laws of Harmony." It includes:
1. Let's live together in harmony, let help each other instead of using force to suppress one another.
2. Talk to each other in a gentle way. If there is something that needs a debate, it must be discussed in peace, and politeness.
3. Nurture good ideas for each other; improve the virtue, never jealousy.
4. Keep the same rules, take discipline as the head. If there is no discipline, no group can survive.
5. Express your knowledge and opinions to the people around you. Many people who have good knowledge, they have a duty to show it to others.
6. Equalize the benefits gained to those who live with you, so that everyone is satisfied.
The six teachings above, if we do them thoroughly, in the family, parents, husband and wife will have harmonious peace; therefore the country and the world will be in peace. Particularly with Buddhists, if we apply the “Six Laws of Harmony†properly, our cultivation is progressing, the path to liberation is closer, and the Pure Land is not only a desire.
I would like to encourage all Buddhists to learn and practice the “Six Laws of Harmony†in any ways and help other people to follow this Law to enjoy the happiness.
At the end of the lecture, the mass attended the ceremony of repentance of Hong Danh Bao Sam, which was presided by Ven. Thich Tam Tinh.
