A Dharma talk offered by The Venerable Hòa Thượng Thích Phước Tịnh during our weekly Day of Mindfulness on November 6, 2022 in the Ocean of Peace Meditation Hall. The sangha is practicing in the 90-Day Rains Retreat. The translation is offered by Sister Kinh Nghiem. 

Today is Formal Lunch day and Thay Phap Hoi spends time sharing about this practice and uses as a lens to look into the spirit of our practice. Why do we practice the way we do? What is the role of formality? Can we practice in a way that makes sense and is understandable for this day and the next generation? For example, for millennia we have been a “four-fold” sangha and today we are beginning to use “multi-fold” sangha to better reflect our growing sangha.

Our tradition is always changing and being updated and can also keep the spirit of Buddhism.

For our Day of Mindfulness on October 9, 2022, the Dharma talk was offered by Sr. Kính Nghiêm. The talk will be offered in English. 

Today is the opening of the annual Rains Retreat and our Dharma talk is offered by the Most Venerable Thích Phước Tịnh. He speaks in Vietnamese and Sr. Kinh Nghiem offers the English translation in this recording. Our theme is the Four Establishments of Mindfulness and preparing for the Rains Retreat.
