Meaning of Vu Lan holiday

Vu Lan festival is an opportunity for family members to show their respect and filial piety, repay the kindness of their grandparents and parents for their birth and upbringing, and pay their respects to ancestors. This is a special festival to continue the good tradition of "Drink water, remember the source" of the Vietnamese people.

Vu Lan festival also calls on society to recognize the gratitude spirit of the Buddha, encouraging people to repay the four sources of grace, which is the birth and upbringing of parents; thank the teachers for teaching and imparting knowledge; ancestors sacrificed to build the country, repay the gratitude for the country and compatriots.

In Vietnam, Vu Lan Festival also has a rose-lacing ceremony. This ceremony was initiated by Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh in 1962. Those who are lucky enough to have parents in the world wear a red flower, and those without parents wear a white rose. The rose on the chest symbolizes the most beautiful, sacred and noble feelings, making anyone lucky will also have a lot of luck, parents will love and respect them more...

What to do on Vu Lan holiday?

Go to the temple to pray for your parents.

Vu Lan festival originates from the legend of Venerable Monk Muc Kien Lien saving his mother in the Buddhist scriptures, so this is a good opportunity for you to gather with your family, go to pagodas to pray for peace, pray for blessings, chant sutras, etc. do meritorious deeds, make offerings or release lanterns.

Going to the temple is not only to pray for peace for the family, to help the family bond be closer, to calm down in a chaotic life, to spread kindness to everyone. .

Buy gifts for grandparents
