The Wedding ceremony is an opportunity for the couple to listen to the Vennerables preaching Buddha teachings on morality: being a new wife, husband, as well as preparing to become parents in the next time. The wedding rite at the pagoda is to create the chance for the couple to return to rely on the Three Jewels, and the support of venerables.
Junior Thich Tam Kinh, Abbot of Tay Khanh in Thai Binh read the meaning of the rings couple. Under the witness of the Triple Jewel and their relatives, the groom and bride performed traditional rites, such as prostrating Three Jewels and parents, giving wedding rings for each other and vowing whole life to live up to follow the moral principles that Buddha taught.
On behalf of present monks, Junior Thich Dao Quang had teachings on the principles of husband and wife. The key to a happy family is harmony. "Harmony" is the root of happiness. The husband and wife getting along will be a warm and happy couple, the parents getting along with their children will maintain family morality, and the education for the next generations will be easier. In addition, the Junior Ven reminded the couple to carefully prepare the necessary things for their future. It is the returning to rely on the Three Jewels, keeping on five precepts. Each member in the family needs to study Buddha Dharma, live a good life, and believe in the law of cause and effect. The five precepts are the basic ethics of being human. The keeper of five precepts will have peace for this life and the next one.
