About this episode
Today is Formal Lunch day and Thay Phap Hoi spends time sharing about this practice and uses as a lens to look into the spirit of our practice. Why do we practice the way we do? What is the role of formality? Can we practice in a way that makes sense and is understandable for this day and the next generation? For example, for millennia we have been a "four-fold" sangha and today we are beginning to use "multi-fold" sangha to better reflect our growing sangha. Our tradition is always changing and being updated and can also keep the spirit of Buddhism.
