On May 4, the Organizing Committee of the 2025 United Nations Vesak Festival informed Buddhists and people about special important notes when worshiping the Buddha at Thanh Tam Pagoda. The worship event took place from March 3 to noon on May 8.

Follow the instructions: People please absolutely follow the instructions of the Organizing Committee throughout the worship process.
Keep order and stay silent: Running or turning off while crossing people is strictly prohibited. Please maintain a solemn silence in the area of ceremony.

Special subjects: Children under 2 years old, people with poor health or inappropriate clothing and behavior will not be allowed to enter the reform area.
Health protection: Due to the long walking distance to the main gate of Thanh Tam pagoda (about 2 km), the Organizing Committee especially recommends that people equip themselves with adequate hats, even in the sun, drinking water and hand-held fans to protect their health.
At the same time, the Organizing Committee also warned that in the first two days of the event, there were many cases of people being exhausted due to hot weather, the large number of people coming to worship and having to walk a lot.
The representative of Binh Chanh District People's Committee also issued an urgent recommendation, hoping that people will pay close attention to their health to ensure full respect and excitement when participating in the event.
