On the evening of June 15th, 2024 before the practice day, thousands of the young eagerly returned to the pagoda waiting for One-Day Retreat for Students to be held tomorrow morning.
After registering and receiving personal cards on Saturday evening, young participants gathered at Dharma-Wheel Building to interact with singers: Duy Zuno-Champion of Love Story Teller; singer Truong Tran Anh Duy - Hot tiktoker - Idol Conquest Champion - Double Star Shining Champion; singer Sa Huynh.
Over 1500 students from Colleges and Universities inside and outside Ho Chi Minh City returned to Hoang Phap Pagoda to attend One Day Retreat for Students on June 16th, 2024.
At 5 a.m, a meditation sitting session started with cool weather at the pagoda in the morning.
At 7 a.m, the mass chanted Eight-thing and Compassion Sutra then sat quietly.
At 09:00, the students listened to a Dharma talk named Misfortune comes from the mouth, preached by Junior Thich Đạt Ma Huy Bảo - Deputy Abbot of Buu Nghiem Pagoda, Thu Dau 1 City, Binh Duong Province.
When having not yet attained a sainthood in life, it is difficult for ordinary people like us to do things near mud without smelling of mud. The ancients taught: "Close to ink, it is black; close to light, it is bright", so when we are exposed to a certain environment for a long time, we will gradually be assimilated by those around us.
Words that hurt, pain, and cause division in the listener, leading to loss of relationships and friends...those are verbal karma. In Buddhism there is a saying "Cultivating the mouth is cultivating more than half of one's life". Therefore, when our mind is restless and angry, we need to find a quiet place, or attend retreats to calm and purify our mind which will limit negative thoughts and words.
Through the story "King Viḍūḍabha and Sakya family", quoting Ekottara agama, the monk clearly showed the terrifying consequences of unwholesome words.
The lecturer hopes that when we hear about a certain issue, when it has not been verified, we should not rush to judge. Let's be careful with what we say and what we are hearing and seeing to avoid losing relatives and friends having our same ambition because it would be too late when looking back.
Students interacted and talked directly with guest Miss Nguyen Phuong Khanh - Miss Earth 2018 in the inspirational 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 program in the afternoon.
She shares about her destiny to pursue the artistic path and some relaxation methods to transform when stressed. Miss Phuong Khanh spreads to young people her favorite things that she sees as her life motto and upcoming directions. In particular, she has a positive view of Buddhism with its current achievements. From there, Miss Talent Phuong Khanh wants to state to young people a message of love and strength.
The day of practice ended with the joy of the attendees. Before leaving, the organizers gave each of them a dharma gift.
