Patriarch s' Death Anniversary - Late Most Ngo Chan Tu at Hoa Phuc Pagoda

In the spirit of gratitude and repayment of the Buddha's disciples to the Patriarchs who have contributed to the construction of dignified pagodas, on the morning of Nov. 16th, 2021, Hoa Phuc Pagoda in Ha Noi, solemnly held 33 rd Anniversary of Late Great Master Ngo Chan Tu, the Hoang Phap Pagoda 's Founder (HCMC) passed away.

FIND OUT THE WAY TO PRESERVE RIGHTEOUS DHARMA

SPREAD TEACHINGS TO LIGHT UP THE LIGHT OF ZEN

The tradition of Hoang Phap pagoda from the north was founded by Master Ngo Chan Tu. In times of change, all dharma depended on conditions, the patriarch continued vows to open in the south region, and then:

 

“Hundreds of streams mix together to lead to the ocean

The Zen way of liberation is in the life

Coming and going is as serene as early clouds

Not ashamed of human life for worth much of years"

The 33rd anniversary of Patriarch‘s death was held according to Buddhist rites in the context of a complicated epidemic.

However, the followers’ deep hearts for the Patriarch remained full up by the joyful presence of Sangha and Buddhists in the Hoang Phap lineage.

We are always aware that the Patriarch is always with us. His dharmakaya manifests in all kinds of dharma to remind his disciples to grow up and practice living in harmony, purity, and steadfastness on the path of learning and propagating the Dharma.

Looking back at the past memories, we can't avoid shame when we are still wandering around and sometimes losing the sacred ideal that our Patriarch and Master have diligently imparted by their lives. Therefore, the Founder's death anniversary is a good opportunity for us to look back and live a meaningful life together, not to betray the beliefs and ambitions entrusted by the Patriarch - Master.

Although the ceremony did not contain flowers, precious fruits, no incense, no beautiful words of praise... but everyone presently recognized the happiness of being a disciple in Hoang Phap tradition.
