ShareDuring orientation, the first night of the retreat, Br. Phap Khoi read the letter in which Thay wrote for the practioners that attended the retreat.  Many of which after hearing the letter, had shed tears and was very surprised to hear that Thay will not be here to led the retreat because of heath reasons.  A lot of the practioners had shared there disappoints in the first dharma discussion.  But after two days of the retreat, they were able to feel the strong energy from the Sangha and can truly see that Thay is a part of the Sangha.  The retreat had left behind many impressions both for monastics and for lay practioners.  A retreat that can never be forgotten.

Please enjoy some of the photos that was taken during the retreat in the YMCA...
