The wedding ceremony at the pagoda is an opportunity for the groom and the bride to listen to the monks conveying Buddha's teachings on the way: being a wife, a husband, a bride, a groom and a parent in the future. The organization of the wedding at the temple is to create conditions for the couple to rely on the support of the Sangha, Three Jewels.
By the witness of Triple Jewel and their relatives, the groom and bride performed traditional rites, such as prostrating Three Jewels and parents, giving wedding rings for each other and vowing whole life to live to follow the moral principles that the Buddha taught.
On behalf of present Monks, Junior Thich Tam Truong, Abbot of Hoang Phap Pagoda, had teachings on the principles to husband and wife. The key to a happy family is harmony. "Harmony" is the root of happiness. The husband and wife getting along will be a warm and happy couple, the parents getting along with their children will maintain family morality, and the education for the next generations will be easier.
In addition, the Junior reminded the couple to carefully prepare the necessary things for their future. It is the returning to rely on the Three Jewels, keeping on five precepts. Each member in the family needs to study Buddha Dharma, live a good life, and believe in the law of cause and effect. The five precepts are the basic ethics of being human. The keeper of five precepts will have peace for this life and the next one.
