Third day of Summer Retreat on “My return to Buddha refuge” at Tay Khanh pagoda – Thai Binh

After two days of practice, the students spent fun and useful programs. The third day continue with extremely attractive one.

In the morning, they listened to the Dharma theme on "Closed Friends in Life" by Venerable Thich Tam Dao, deputy head of the temple.

 We all have a lot of friends. Since crying to be born, when I first took my first steps into the door of my school, until I got my diploma in hand and stepped into the hustle and bustle life circle, we met so many people. Those people, either good or bad, have also had a great impact on our lives. To achieve true success, we need to have proper awareness of them. That is why the Venerable Master talked with them the methods by which we can identify our friends through the "four friends" mentioned in the Kind Sage. This is really valuable lessons for them, since from here, more or less, they are aware of their own value friends and how to get good friends.

In addition, he pointed out the most important friends, who follow us throughout life. They are our parents. This is a great friendship, they must cherish and preserve, fulfill the duties and responsibilities to maintain. Thus, they become perfect people, according to the Buddha's teachings.

In the afternoon, they experienced in a real and very interesting program, which is cooking "Pearl Tea".

In the evening of the day, a meaningful program they had took place. The talk "Sowing Bodhi Seeds" is the story of the one who leaves the house to be a monk, This is the lesson, the encouragement for all on the journey and the future path to get real success, not to waste a human life.
