Retreat for Students
Student One-Day Practice
Update: 18/11/2019
In the morning, having breakfast students gathered at the lecture hall for “Six sense bases” chanting. Then a talk from Ven. Thich Quang Thien, lecturer of the Buddhist Mid-level School and the abbot of Tinh Quang temple, located in District 12, HCMC.
The talk is about five important periods of life. When we are in an unbalanced state, don’t think of suicide but keep living for the next step. Then try your best to show your existence in life. When you get back your balance you have to work hard for life contributing. The last period is having a strong mind, not depend on others’ evaluations in life.
Today young people are facing a lot of dangers of life, learn how to protect oneself is the most important thing. Keep learning to gain knowledge, to realize what is the meaning of life then orient your life there.
In the afternoon, a quick test related to “Hoang Phap Founder – the life and works” including 20 multiple-choice sentences and small writing. Three of them will be the winner.
The practice day closes with joy and peace. The book Karma Stories is a small gift for them.
