On August 18, 2020, Thay Thich Truc Thai Minh gave a lecture on the topic "Lessons from the sea" which belongs to Milindapanha Sutra. Due to the complicated situation of COVID-19, the Dharma talk was live-streamed so that Buddhists could watch from home.

  Through the debate of Bhikshu Nagasena and King Milinda, together with Thay's explanation, meaningful lessons from the sea and the similarity between five qualities of the sea and five virtues of the ordained were learned. Thay taught, “To be successful at any careers, we should possess the qualities of the sea. That is, we must get rid of bad deeds which obstruct our work, work hard, humbly learn the know-how as well as preserve precious things of the work.”

Hopefully, after listening to the Dharma talk, everyone will derive lessons from the qualities of the sea and apply them in their daily life.

The Buddha and the bandit - a story of redemption through the Dharma

“What an extraordinary feat never achieved before, oh the World-Revered One (the Buddha)! Only you can save people that no one in the world can save! Only you can calm the disturbances in people’s minds that no one else in the world can calm. With great compassion, you have saved people from the darkest places, guided them back to the light in a miraculous way. Your deed has made me wonder, with all my power, my weapons, whether there is a way to make people redeem themselves from their evildoings. That question was stuck in my head, and now it has been answered by you.”
