From May 17 to 20, Buddhists and people who come to worship the Buddha's grace at Tam Chuc Pagoda (Ba Sao Ward, Kim Bang Town, Ha Nam Province) can go to Dien Quan Am tunnel to receive free vegetarian meals, food and drinks.
Quickly helping everyone prepare food on the tray, Mr. Nguyen Van Thi - Head of the Volunteer Department giving free meals at Tam Chuc Pagoda said that the number of people and Buddhists coming to the pagoda to worship the Buddha is very large. Therefore, the organizing committee has prepared vegetarian food including rice, fried balls, potatoes, eggs... and grilled to drink for free to the people. broadcast time is from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
"Every day, the organizing committee plans to prepare tens of thousands of vegetarian meals. Like yesterday (May 17), we have distributed about 10,000 free meals to the people and Buddhists," said Mr. Thi.
It is known that Tam Chuc Pagoda currently has more than 1,000 volunteers participating in activities from May 17 to 20, of which the rice distribution department alone has about 150 people.
Having just received a vegetarian meal from volunteers, Ms. Hong (from Hai Duong) could not help but emotionally share: "I have been at the pagoda since early this morning (May 18), after praying for the protection of the Buddha, the volunteer informed me that the pagoda serves free vegetarian meals to people in Dien Quan Am tunnel, so I moved here to eat. For me, eating a free vegetarian meal prepared by a pagoda is truly emotional and meaningful".
In addition, during the event days, the organizing committee will offer free electric bus and boat tickets to visit the Tam Chuc pagoda grounds (usual ticket prices range from 250,000 - 480,000 VND/trip). From May 17 to 20, the pagoda is open from 5:30 am to 10:00 pm every day for people to worship and worship the Buddha.
