Vietnamese Dharma-Friends in Europe

Precepts_2 From Germany, to Poland, from France to Italy, from Finland to the USA our Dharma tour met Vietnamese Buddhist friends all over Europe. Our Assembly in Paris at the Chinagora Hotel gathered in over 600 people to bow, recite, take Refuge and Precepts, listen to lectures, and enjoy vegetarian meals. Because we brought our most experienced Vietnamese translator, Mr. Ha Guo - hong,  so my words and the talks given by the nuns in our delegation, were available via headphones to all Vietnamese speakers who required them.

I visited a local Vietnamese temple in Orsay,  Khuong Viet Pagoda, and created affinities with the friends there.

I really admire those who went to Europe and join the dharma assembly there, especially in France. 600 people gathered together in the hotel for worship? (not sure if this is the right word?) is just incredible. "Vow to cross over the limitless living beings" - that must be unforgettable ...

It is so inspiring to see the Dharma being spread. I can only imagine more in the future.

I'd like to donate :-(. No joking would like to get some information on where to write
