It is known that the carpentry of "Nhu Lai Ung Hien Do" - the restoration based on ancient carpentry documents from the 19th century, was done by artist Nguyen Cong Dat and the group of artisans from Thanh Lieu village (Hai Duong). The wooden painting recreates the image of the birth of Buddha with one hand pointing to heaven, one hand pointing to earth - a classic symbol in Asian Buddhist art.
In addition to admiring the woodwork Nhu Lai Ung Hien Do, visitors at the event also have the opportunity to experience woodwork printing using traditional manual methods on Vietnamese Do paper. This is one of the attractions that attracts a large number of young people, creatives and cultural researchers to admire and interact.
Many attendees shared their feelings when they were able to "draw a painting of the Buddha with their own hands", feeling the deep connection between art, spirituality and national identity.
In addition to introducing the book Nhu Lai Ung Hien Do, the Exhibition and Experience Week The quintessence of Thanh Lieu Book was also opened, attracting the participation of Chu Ton Duc Tang Ni, artisans in the craft village, cultural researchers, traditional art collectors, a large number of Buddhists and art lovers of the nation.
Dieu Tuong Am is considered one of the pioneers in linking Buddhism with modern living space through design, applied art and cultural - community activities.
On the occasion of this year's Vesak, Dieu Tuong Am continues to promote its role in connecting and spreading spiritual and cultural values through a close, profound and creative form.
Accordingly, the Exhibition and Experience Week "The quintessence of Thanh Lieu Music" will open open open to the public from May 4 to 12 at Dieu Tuong Am Buddhist Cultural and Artistic Space (opposite Vinh Nghiem Pagoda, Ho Chi Minh City).
