The exhibition with the theme "45 years of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha: Developing with the country - Entering a new era", is organized towards the 1st Ho Chi Minh City Buddhist Congress (term 2026 - 2031) and the 45th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha (November 7, 1981 - November 7, 2026).
At the opening ceremony, Venerable Thich Le Trang, Vice Chairman of the Executive Council, Head of the Executive Board of GHPGVN HCMC emphasized the importance of the upcoming Congress, in order to rearrange personnel and plan directions to meet the requirements of religious development in the face of changes in the country.
Through 450 selected images according to 17 topics, this exhibition recreates the formation, development and achievements of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha over the past 45 years.
The novelty of the exhibition is that it does not follow the chronicle presentation style, but chooses to tell stories with practical platforms, opinions and data.
This approach helps viewers have a focused, clear view of the important milestones that the Church has built.
Visiting the exhibition, young person Tran Van Huu (resident of An Hoi Tay ward) shared: "Throughout 3 years of learning and practicing Buddhism, I feel that the Church has created a favorable environment for monks, nuns, and Buddhists to access modern knowledge, harmoniously combining religion and life. I came here with the desire to perform rituals and express my gratitude to the dignitaries.
