preaching abroad. After attaining enlightenment under the tree of Enlightenment, the Buddha used the Buddha's eyes to reflect on the human faculties. There are people with lower intelligence. Some people belong to the center of the center. Some people belong to the upper house of wisdom. But in the end, whoever cultivates will become a Buddha. Like green, yellow, and white lotus ponds with lotus buds still in the mud. There are lotus buds still in the water. There are lotus buds that have become flowers out of the water, come out of the water, breathe in the air and show off their fragrance to beautify life. After promising the request of the deity Sahampati, the Buddha set out for salvation, and since that time, on his body three robes, a bowl, a water filter, a bag of needles, one scepter to probe deep water to go. The World-Honored One was on his way to conversion. Transformation from the city to the countryside. From the streets to the remote villages. Go for peace, benefits for humans and gods, for animals, for hell. Without hesitation anywhere, without choosing anyone, human or animal, all are converted, to return to the righteous path. Have good fortune. Have goodwill. Have a Buddha mind. Remember to think about Buddha, the enlightened nature is displayed. Today, the Council for Propagating the Dharma has a mechanism called the Department of Catechism, which is set up to rely on each other and push the wheel of Dharma to roll on all the roads of the country, reaching everyone, every home, every country and society. association, benefiting the community. In order to see the practical necessity, but carefully, without procrastination, without distraction, you must focus on the following tasks: First: General monthly slapping of the local Sangha community. This is a beautiful image, and at the same time an opportunity for the monks to meet and declare the precepts, visit, sharing his own Buddhist experience as well as his monastery with the monks, so that the monk's love is tightened and sustainable, otherwise, as his grandparents say: "far from the face, far from the heart". Therefore, the United States Department of Catechesis would like to present this opinion to the Council of Dharma Propagation and respectfully ask the Venerables, Monks and Nuns of all countries, continents, etc. Second: Buddha's birthday together, monks and nuns, Buddhists co-organized. Buddha's Birthday is a great sacred day for all Buddhists across the five continents and four seas. The Buddha appeared in the world to show the method of practice, enlightenment and liberation for people, or broadly speaking, throughout the world of sentient beings, from the gods in the heavens to the three hells, hungry ghosts, animals, everywhere the light of enlightenment shines to save sentient beings, increase the predestined conditions for peace and happiness, or witness the path of the Holy fruit ending birth and death samsara. Such is the compassion of Buddha. Such is the wisdom of Buddha. Therefore, as a child of the Buddha, one must be grateful and grateful to the Blessed One in all respects. Expressing this gratitude in addition to the spiritual practice in ourselves, in temples, and in each Buddhist community, we must sincerely and single-mindedly organize the Buddha's Birthday in each local Buddhist community, in order to remind Remembering the heart to protect the Dharma, As well as the merit of practicing to remember the Buddha's birthday in this planet - Jambudvipa. The General Buddha's Birthday is celebrated everywhere, it's such a noble thing. I hope so! Third: The common residence of the Monasteries. Each season of Seclusion is each time the monks have the opportunity to study together in a residence for 10 days or more. During this ten-day period, the Sangha has demonstrated the harmony and purity of the Sangha. which experience many decades ago has shown the pure essence of the Sangha to manifest during this Seclusion. Image of walking meditation path. Image of chanting and worshiping. The image of meditating chanting has revived the history of the great patriarch for the past 2000 years in his homeland, and nearly 3,000 years from the time when the Buddha was still alive. The image of monks and nuns living in the same place - The body is in harmony. Having the same benefits, please share equally - Harmony of the army. Time to settle down the German precepts are strict and pure - About the harmony and practice. There is only peace of mind to practice, a peace of mind, a fresh feeling in your heart, no trouble, no heat - Peace of mind. And surely during this time of Retreat, all the monks and nuns show the spirit of self-sacrifice, and respect each other with respect to each other to cultivate merit - Peace of mind is unmatched. And during the Seclusion period, practicing, studying, in order to learn from each other, only to show each other's practice experiences, so no one regrets the words of encouragement, advice and resolution of all questions while studying. These are just a few crude opinions, boldly presented to you, the family that organizes the Kiet Ha Retreat for the monks and nuns in each locality. Fourth: Organizing study monasteries for Buddhists: Life abroad is a race against time. Material life must be done with hands, by their own efforts to have enough means to spend for family, food, clothes, house, car... Otherwise, people living in society will be swept away by the attraction of talent, color, fame, realism, lobe... And then Buddhists will forget their religious virtue, but especially the history of their ancestors, generations of dharma protectors, generations of vegetarians, Reciting the Buddha's name, for many generations, he has been reborn with the Dao, Now the children's lives are eroded and worn out. Therefore, monks and nuns must organize long-term or short-term courses for Buddhists to attend, to reawaken themselves during this course and always remember that they are Buddhists and children of Buddha. , as a disciple of the Master, as a protector of the Dharma, so that the Buddha Dharma can be perpetuated, benefiting all beings. Fifth: Thematic sermons, the Buddha's teachings on the path of comprehensive education: Human education is an extremely important educational path. The ultimate educational path. Education path above all. Given such importance, the Venerable Monks should take it as their duty and responsibility. We must educate through the way of preaching the Dharma, through the way of propagation, which over the decades, decades or today has been built by our ancestors. There have been famous professors who have done and are doing. May the spirit of this thematic sermon always be fulfilled. Made so that we can all listen to the Buddha's teachings. If anyone has heard it, try to practice. If anyone has not heard, now listen to practice. The Buddha taught: "The evil deeds, the good ones, the self-purifications, the wishes of the Buddhas". Translation: "Don't do evil, Vow to do good deeds, Keep your mind pure, Is the Buddha's teaching." This is the goal, the end point of the Department of Catechesis, in order to guide and promote people to the holy horizon. Friday: Organize bilingual and Vietnamese Buddhist classes for children. Youth is the age of the future, a generation of people to pay attention to. If the monks and nuns didn't open a bilingual Buddhist teaching class today, Vietnamese language, in the future, how will your children grow up to know how to speak Vietnamese, how will they understand the basic Buddhadharma with the faith of lay Buddhists, if not, then that means We have lost a future generation of Dharma protectors, a huge gap that can hardly be filled by anything, filled in, or replaced properly. Even though I know that today there are also Vietnamese language teaching centers. Temples for children to learn bilingual and Vietnamese Buddhism, but still not enough, need to be accompanied under the roofs of existing Monasteries everywhere today. Therefore, young monks and nuns must learn English well. Speak English fluently, to reach the children, to be close to them to teach them. Eat rice in mindfulness. Walking in awareness. Meet the teachers, the children know how to join hands: Nam Mo Buddha greets politely. From that, giving them a living in the monastery, gradually becoming devout Buddhists who know how to serve, dedicate, and beautify their lives. These are beautiful, fresh flowers that are needed in the future that we have to take care of, water, and fertilize today to have a beautiful flower garden tomorrow. Garden of virtuous and loving people. May the Venerable Monks and Nuns be compassionate and compassionate. Saturday: 3-day weekend retreats for teenagers: These courses, for teenagers, are the awakening educational spirit in itself. If it wakes itself up, it will remember; otherwise, it will forget and go downstream. For the younger generation of Buddhists, it is necessary to have more access, more moral transmission, more rituals, otherwise it will be stained with secularism in this culture. We must value the human dignity of the young generation: Morality. Pious. Ancestral Tradition. National pride. All this needs to be awakened, made aware. Therefore, organize a three-day retreat such as: Leaving home to sow predestined. Practice being a true Buddhist as taught in the Lotus Sutra: "Sing the Buddha's speech is born. Or in the Samyutta Nikaya defines the two words layman: 1 - Taking refuge in the Three Jewels. 2 - Have kept the five precepts. 3 - Have a deep love and faith in Buddhism. 4 - Faith in the Buddha is indestructible. Because Buddha is the Perfectly Enlightened One. Chief variable tri. Minh Hanh Tuc. 5 - Having wisdom to know what is right and what is not right, to practice for oneself and for the benefit of others. Both benefit both in this life and the next. Therefore, a 3-day retreat for young people, which can be held in the summer, is the most convenient time, because summer is a time off from school, can be attended. Of course, it's hard to gather a large crowd at first - everything starts out difficult, but over time it gets used to and gets easier. Monks and nuns really think about this, have projects and act like many times the monasteries have organized. If there is an organized project, there will be results, if not, nothing at all. White hands are still completely empty hands. We must be conscious to nurture the young generation, the next generation. The generation inherited the fortune and career of his father. If today, monks and nuns can't do this, someday the way of spreading the word will be reduced, the number of attendees will be reduced, the audience will no longer be crowded. So be careful or you will lose both the lead and the fishing rod. Those who are able to spread the word are few and those who receive the indoctrination are not significant in number, it is really miserable. With that vision, a penetrating look, I hope that the venerable monks, monks and nuns will cherish the future of the Buddhadharma and serve it with their hearts, so that the Buddha Dharma can be preserved forever, and the way of propagation is opened. Eighth: The way to propagate the Dharma is the altruistic path leading up, bringing people across the shore. We often hear: "Preaching the Dharma, the service of living for the career". If it's your housework, it's your career, you have to do it, you have to look after it, you have to live and die with it. If you live and die with it, then it will live and die with you. Both life and death mean success in career, housework. This is an attitude of active service. Okay, so the housework is growing every day, each step forward to achieve a high-class house, spacious and polite, decorated with all kinds of things, no shortage of treasures, and plenty of precious things. Therefore, the career is getting bigger day by day, leave for long-term descendants without shortage. Therefore, preaching or spreading, benefiting or altruistic is the work of monks and nuns. The job of serving the Buddhadharma, spreading the Dharma to everyone. That teaching is studying Buddhism. Buddha practice. Buddhist practice. Acknowledge Buddha. That Dharma is the study and practice presented to the Buddhists to understand and practice in parallel. The job of the Department of Dissemination of the Teachings is to make Buddhists have the means to listen to the teachings, have the means to study the Buddhadharma, and have the means to understand the Buddhadharma. Once understood, I hope that the monks and nuns will commit themselves. Committed every step of the way. Engage in all urgent Buddhist affairs, to correct and stabilize local Buddhist affairs. In spite of, Today we do not have the ability to provide as the motto of the ancients: "Dharma needs us to come to Buddha, then we will go, Don't be afraid of hard work, Don't worry about hardship". But anyway, monks and nuns should imitate that aspiration. The aspiration of the forefathers, on the historical line of the Great Patriarch, so that she would not be an assistant to the upbringing and teaching, from the beginning of the monastic period, cut her green hair, wore a brown shirt, and made a sour and salty sauce. salty. Monks and nuns are where they are today because of the Buddha. It is thanks to the Master. It's thanks to the parents. It is thanks to the herd of charity, the nation, and the society. So, monks and nuns, please spread the Dharma, please don't wait, it's easy to wait and time passes without catching up. The United States Department of Catechesis pledges to spread the word to the best of its ability. Wishing the Venerable Elders to be compassionate and protective, encourage the Buddha's work of the Council to be successful and complete. It's a common job, each person has a hand, contributing to clapping so they can cry. Each person contributed a strength to push the thousand-pound rock to get the way forward. Bringing people across the shore. If so, it is to repay the Buddhas, teachers, parents and Dharma world sentient beings. The end of the New Year is coming, the old year is coming to an end, the new year is coming, the entire United States Department of Catechism and the United States of America single-mindedly pays respects to the Most Venerable Venerable Monks, Venerable Monks, Venerable Monks and Nuns, always be healthy and peaceful so that completion of the Buddha's work has been and is being carried out to perfection. Praying for the wise lay people, Buddhists to have peace and happiness in today's life. Each person contributed a strength to push the thousand-pound rock to get the way forward.
