The Buddhist art creation campaign "Sang Dao Trong Gioi" signed by the Central Cultural Committee of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha (GHPGVN) in cooperation with specialized literary and artistic associations aims to create a model of a contemporary Vietnam Buddhist Cultural Festival, where the spirit of the same era and art become a means of sowing good seeds.
Venerable Thich Tho Lac - Standing Member of the Board of Directors, Head of the Central Cultural Committee of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha (VBSP) - affirmed: "This is an important milestone, demonstrating the spirit of cooperation, connection and companionship between Vietnamese Buddhism with agencies, experts, scientists, experts in the fields of culture, literature, art... joining hands to contribute to bringing the good values of Buddhism deep into social life".
According to Venerable Thich Tho Lac, Vietnamese Buddhism for more than two thousand years has not only been a religion of compassion and intelligence, but also a vivid cultural source that contributes to the formation of the identity and spirit of the nation.
In the context of current integration and development, the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha hopes to work with agencies, research institutes, professional associations and artists to build a contemporary Buddhist culture that both inherits tradition and carries the breath of the times - where "reconciliation with Life", "art becomes a means of harmony and love".
The signing ceremony of cooperation and launching the "Docism in Life" campaign is the beginning of a great creative journey, where the art world and Buddhism together build a model of a contemporary Vietnam Buddhist Cultural Festival.
From the ideas, works, and projects formed today, the Central Cultural Committee of the Vietnam School of the Gifted hopes to form a rich spiritual artistic heritage, contributing to preserving and promoting national cultural values in the new era.
The "Docism in Life" campaign aims to encourage the creation of works with the spirit of Buddhism in many forms: Literature, music, art, stage, cinema, architecture, festival design, sculpture...
Outstanding works will be displayed, performed and applied in Buddhist cultural festivals, contributing to building an artistic space with regional nuances, in the spirit of "unity in diversity".
Venerable Thich Tho Lac also added that the compassionate breath, intelligence and spirit of initiation of Buddhism not only exist in Zen, but also penetrate deeply into literature, music, architecture, painting, stage and festivals, becoming a source of nurturing Vietnamese culture for generations.
Today, before the opportunity for integration and development, more than ever, we need to ignite the fire of creativity, from the spirit of Buddhism, so that art becomes a bridge connecting Dao with Life, so that the light of compassion and intelligence can spread in modern life.
On this occasion, the Central Cultural Committee of the Vietnam School District announced and presented the decision to establish the Hoang Sac Bo De Club, with the motto: "Dao Trong Trong Trong - Bringing love and dreams to all sides".
The club is considered "a new lotus in the garden of Vietnamese Buddhism", a common home for creatives who are benefactors, together walking creatively, serving with art, contributing to spreading the cultural values of Buddhism in modern society.
