On the morning of May 14, the opening ceremony of the Pride Festival was solemnly observed by Venerable Tang Ni in the peaceful space of Quan Su Pagoda.
From 5am, thousands of people poured in, creating a long line of people on Tran Hung Dao and Ly Thuong Kiet streets, heading towards the place to worship and benefit the Buddha with deep respect.
According to the original plan, the time of worshiping the Buddha's grace at Quan Su Pagoda took place from 7:00 to 9:00, on the three days of May 14 to 16 (ie from the 17th to the 19th of the 4th lunar month).
However, due to the large number of Buddhists and people worshiping the Buddha's benefits, the Organizing Committee decided to expand the time to welcome and maintain worship activities throughout the night at Quan Su Pagoda.
Some notes when worshiping the Buddha's grace at Quan Su pagoda:
