One-Day Practice

Organizing as usual One-day Practice on March 22nd, 2026, Hoang Phap Pagoda recorded the crowded participation of Buddhists everywhere.

 At 08: 00am, all Buddhists came to the lecture halls to begin reciting the Buddha name, walking meditation and chanting precepts. After the ritual, Most Thich Nhat Hy, member of Executive Council, Deputy Central Propagation Board, Deputy Director Board cum Head Propagation Board of HCMC’s Vietnam Buddhist Sangha had a Dharma Talk to the attendees.

 

The Most taught that practitioners should recite the Buddha with a pure mind, not just with their mouth or consciousness to be reborn in the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha. Because the true mind is the root of purity, leading to wholesome dharma, like the root and trunk of a tree, while consciousness is merely the leaves and branches. When mindfulness and concentration are illuminated, cultivators have enough the power of samadhi to overcome the eight worldly winds, finding peace and serenity in body and mind. Because of its practical benefits in leading practitioners to happiness and peace, the Buddha's teachings remain enduring, a miraculous remedy to soothe the suffering of sentient beings even after more than two thousand six hundred years.

 

All participants continued their time of chanting Buddha's name, walking meditation and sitting meditation, so that their body and mind could be "from the bad to the good" amidst the bustle of life. The One-Day Retreat concluded successfully in the participants' joy and happiness. Before leaving the temple, Buddhists received book gifts.
