The second day of the summer retreat at Dong Cao pagoda

Response to the invitation from Junior Ven. Thich Tam Hung, Abbot of Dong Cao Pagoda (Nga Yen, Nga Son, Thanh Hoa), Junior Ven. Thich Tam Dao shared the dharma talk with over 200 students on July 11th, 2019 (lunar June 09th, the year of the Pig).

After meditation time, the students of the 3rd time retreat at Dong Cao Pagoda were joyful to hear words shared by the lecturer Ven. With small stories, words and philosophies, Junior Ven. helped them have a new perspective on life, about the concept of happiness and the respect to their parents. His sharing words are sincere, simple but gentle, absorbed in their thinking, as well as harmony with the heart of all attendees. Somewhere, there were laughter, joys and tears, and moving moments.

For participants, the speech from Junior Ven. Thich Tam Dao is probably not an ordinary lecture, it is also the echo from heart of many young people to their parents.

In the afternoon of the same day, Monks organized a catechism competition among the teams, helping them understanding better the Buddha’s life, as well as tightening solidarity between the groups' members.

At night, they chanted the Ullambana Of Gratitude To Parents.
