One-day Buddha Recitation at Dong Cao Pagoda – Thanh Hoa Province.

On July 05th, 2015 (Lunar May. 20th, Goat Years), Buddhists gathered at Dong Cao Pagoda, Yen Khoai village, Nga Yen Commue, Nga Son distric, Thanh Hoa province to attend One-day Cultivation of Buddha Recitation even though they were in the crop season.

In this retreat, the host appealed Venerable Thich Tam Hoa and monks of  Hoang Phap Pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City to share Buddha’s teaching words to all ashrams on the topic “How to remove the anger”.

 

After more than one hour, the Ven. explained the ashrams many causes of the anger and solutions used to reduce it. We should know that the anger is the basic of afflictions for a long time. One in three poisons (greed, hatred and delusion) has followed us from billion of lives until now. We have been reborn in many up and down lives because of three things which are the agents of creating the karma. Identifying its nature is not an easy work.

 

Buddha taught that the anger must be counteracted before it breaks out. We should reflect deeply in the inner feeling and practise right mindfulness. When our thought, speech and actions are brighted with consciousness of right mindfulness , transfering anger is not a difficult problems. Let’s live by extending passionate hearts and peaceful indulgent behavior with  all. The Ven. Thich Tam Hoa wished Buddhists could practice frequently to get peaceful and happy life.
