On March 26, at the Great Mandala Pagoda in Tay Thien (Phu Tho), the 45th Cau An Great Hall - Dharma Assembly of the Medicine Masters will take place, opening up a practice space to help each person temporarily put aside worries and busyness to focus on peace and awakening.
The Dharma Assembly is an opportunity for Buddhists and attendees to receive the blessed blessings from the Medicine Buddha, combined with the blessing power of the Three Jewels, thereby nurturing spiritual inner strength and increasing merit.
The program includes many activities such as: Welcoming Mandala Sea Festival of Medicine Buddha, chanting Medicine Buddha's Sutra, listening to Dharma teachings, offering Hoa Tinh, standing meditation, ceremony for 35 Buddhas repenting and offering lanterns, gradually contributing to purifying the body and mind.
In the spiritual rhythm of Vietnamese people, February 8th of the lunar calendar is considered the "falling point" of consciousness, when the Tet atmosphere subsides, people have the opportunity to return to themselves and ask themselves: "How do we want to live this year?". At the Great Mandala Pagoda in Tay Thien, "Peace Prayer" is no longer a passive desire but a process of inner strength training, creating inner strength.
The retreat is built according to a 6-layer roadmap: Awakening - Purification - Healing - Letting go - Enlightenment - Praying, helping each person move from external seeking to self-creating inner peace, becoming a spiritual support for themselves and the community.
Closing the journey, the message "Spring of Awareness" is sent as a reminder: Peace does not come from circumstances but originates from each person's mind, not only adding age, but also adding maturity, wisdom and compassion.
