On the afternoon of Jan. 15th, 2021, the delegation arrived at Minh Chat ashram, Can Tho. Here, Junior Thich Tam Tri had a dharma talk with the theme Four Difficulties in Life. Those are not easy to become a human, being lived is difficult, to hear the dharma is more difficult, and to meet the Buddha is the most difficult one. Because, the Buddha is the Teacher, the enlightened one, left from suffering. The Dharma is the Buddha's teaching. The Sangha is a group of four monks who practice in pureness and harmony.

Each person has their own treasure, so we should develop that treasure to become more and more lucid. We cultivate ourselves means supporting everyone, contributing to building a happy family, developing society, leaving inappropriate things such as killing, stealing, adultery, lying, drinking. We should do merit, eat vegetable meals, recite the Buddha's name, release animals, repent evils, chant sutras, and do all good deeds to create merit for the next life.

On January 16th, 2021, monks and Buddhists had a cultivation time at night, dedicating this merit to the spirit Nguyen Thi Nga (Dieu Nguyet), passed away on Aug. 24th, Year of the Mouse, at the age of 64 years old.

Accordingly, the delegation has a visit and release of creatures at Cai Rang floating market, Ninh Kieu, Can Tho, which is an impressive market in the world, is a national intangible cultural heritage.

After visiting and buying some fresh fruit in the floating market, the group performed the liberation rite: transmitting the refuge, reciting Buddha's name at this place. The release of creatures brings many merits, therefore, we should do this liberating and advise everyone to join together.
