Peace Sharing Talk at Phat Phap Temple — Saint Petersburg, Florida — July 18, 2026 Today, July 18, 2026, Venerable Bhikkhu Paññākāra was invited to offer a peace sharing talk at Phat Phap Temple in Saint Petersburg, Florida, during the solemn and sacred occasion of the funeral of the Late Most Venerable Buu Phuong (Thích Hộ Đạo — Dhammapalo Mahathera), who was born in 1936 and peacefully passed away at 2:10 AM on July 4, 2026, at Phat Phap Temple. During this deeply moving occasion, Venerable Bhikkhu Paññākāra shared a profound and heartfelt talk on impermanence — reminding us that every step we take in life is changing, that every meeting carries within it the seed of parting, and that it is precisely in recognizing this truth that we find the path to greater peace, mindfulness, and compassion in our daily lives. He also shared gentle and practical guidance on how to practice mindfulness in everyday life — bringing more presence, more peace, and more loving awareness into each moment we are given. We warmly invite everyone to watch and listen to the full talk. May his words bring comfort, clarity, and peace to all who hear them. May the Late Most Venerable Buu Phuong rest in serene and ultimate peace. May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏✨
