In recent days, the Khong So Phat - Quoc Duong An has been led to worship at Quan Su Pagoda (Hanoi), attracting tens of thousands of people and Buddhists from all over to come and worship.
Mrs. Ty (78 years old, Hanoi) was taken by her daughter from Cau Giay to Quan Su pagoda to worship the Buddha's hand. She said: "The children also wanted to go with me, but because they were busy with work, they had to pick me up a car to get there first. My old age is difficult to travel, luckily there were a few volunteers who came to pick me up and helped me get through the steps. The children also gave chairs, gave water, and asked about their health, making us the elderly feel warm".
To welcome a large number of people from Hanoi and other provinces and cities to worship the Buddha's benefits, in addition to the number of pilgrims, many young volunteers are called to the pagoda to help and do good deeds.
Nguyen Thi Thuy Linh (18 years old, Hanoi) said: "A few days ago, I saw information calling for volunteers on Facebook and Tiktok of Huong Tu Bi Buddhist Youth Club, so I registered to participate. After being given detailed instructions on the work, we were given cards, shirts and followed the volunteer group. Our job is to distribute water, rice, maintain hygiene, and support Buddhists in the process of worshiping the Buddha's grace".
Thuy Linh's volunteer shift starts from 1pm to 10am. If she wants to participate more, she can continue to register with the club. Talking about the reason for participating in charity, Thuy Linh shared: "As a person who is practicing, I really like and want to participate in meritorious and charitable work. Nowadays, there are many young people turning to Buddhism. Personally, I go to reform or do charity work to find peace and peace".
Coming to Quan Su Pagoda, Thuy Linh also had the opportunity to worship the Buddha's hand. She felt happy and honored to admire the Indian national park for the first time in her studying life.
Tam (22 years old, Hanoi) - Vice President of the Buddhist Youth Club Huong Tu Bi said that the club currently has about 350 members. On May 13, the club had about 100 members and 1,000 volunteers selected to support the pilgrimage and worship of the Khasi Phung at Quan Su pagoda.
"C club members and volunteers are divided into many groups to serve the procession, arrange things, support Buddhists in traveling, resting, eating... Every day, we will rely on the expected amount of work at the pagoda to recruit the right number of volunteers," Tam shared.
Having lived at the club for 3 years, Tam and other members have participated in Buddhist activities at the pagoda, done charity work, built schools for poor children... Although busy studying and working at the same time, she does not hesitate to spend time going to Quan Su pagoda these days.
She shared: "I find volunteer activities very beneficial, helping me practice many soft skills such as communication, time management, work organization... Personally, I also feel more relaxed and happier when doing charity, helping my life".
Like Tam, many other young people also go to Quan Su pagoda to do donations, spread the Buddha's hand and volunteer. Venerable Thich Minh Quang, Secretary of the Triental Council, Deputy Chief of the Central Office of the Parish, said that it is expected that thousands of volunteers and ministries will participate in contributing to Quan Su Pagoda during the celebration of the Buddha's benefits and the Lunar New Year this year.
"The task of the Organizing Committee is how people come to worship with the heart of joy, respect and solemnity towards the Buddha," said Venerable Thich Minh Quang. The believers and Buddhists come to the temple to pay attention to the instructions of the Organizing Committee, look up the information posted on the Church's website so that the event takes place solemn, pure and safest.
