Buddha Mindfulness Hall & Leprosy Hospital – Quy Nhơn City
August 05, 2015
Dear Benefactors,
It was with great happiness that we were able to visit and experience Niệm Phật Đường (NPĐ – Buddha Mindfulness Hall) at the Leprosy Hospital in Quy Nhon on 26/7/2015.
The July heat in Quy Nhon burns as we walk for hours in the afternoon. In particular, this summer charity trip I brought my 17 years old niece, Hoang Quyen, to learn and see the life of poor people compare to our children fortunate “silk” life in the United States (to see is to appreciate and not waste their blessing/opportunities).
Tu Bi Foundation delegates include: Venerable Thich Quang Thuc from Huong Mai Temple, Nhon Hai from Quy Nhon, Lieu Duyen and Hoang Quyen come to the join in the activities at NPĐ in Quy Hoà.
The prayer ceremony took place in a solemn and pure atmosphere with 100 attending Buddhists. We are very touched to receive the smile from each Buddhists. After the ceremony, Venerable teacher shared the Dharma and books to diligent practitioners, accepted the illness in the present, and tried to transform the body and mind through practice and good deeds so that their body/mind are at peace and bless in the future – directing their birth to Buddha’s Pure Land.
At the same time, Tu Bi Foundation donated 200,000 VND to 100 Buddhist regardless of status … and gifted 50 Buddhist robe to the temple.
Tu Bi Foundation sincerely grateful to our benefactors close and far, who have contributed and helped make the program as successful for the patient at Phong Quy Hoa hospital.
Venerable Thích Chúc Thiện from Texas has also promised to visit the NPĐ again in the future. And hopefully from now on, annually Venerable nun Nhu Minh from Hue will come every year with gifts for patients at NPĐ – Quy Hoa.
We hope our benefactors will be happy upon seeing the images below …
Sincerely yours.
Tu Bi Foundation
