On the first day, the teaching monks taught Buddhist Culture by teaching participants how to bow and led trainees in how to chant the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta along with basic meditation principles. On the second day, the participants exercised and offered breakfast and lunch to the monks.
Then, the teaching monk led them to meditate and asked them about their experience and gave a sermon on the topic of “Detachment” that if they let some bad emotions go through forgiveness and detachment from negativity, their happiness will increase.
