(Baonghean.vn) – In the minds of Vietnamese people, “going to the temple all year round is not as good as the full moon of January”, therefore, on this day, pagodas and temples are always crowded with visitors praying for peace, luck, and wealth…
 |
| On the full moon day, Can Linh pagoda also held a peace praying ceremony. |
 |
| Everyone sends wishes for a new year full of blessings, peace and luck. |
 |
| Young people go to the temple together |
 |
| Many families take their children to the temple with them, with the idea of teaching them to live honestly and be filial to their grandparents and parents. |
 |
| Releasing birds, a beautiful tradition of Vietnamese people; with the wish for a peaceful new year. |
 |
| Going to the temple at the beginning of the year to pray for peace and fortune has been a cultural feature for generations. However, there are still some deviations such as hiring a priest to perform an elaborate and expensive ritual to ward off bad luck. |
 |
| Burning votive paper at Hoang Muoi Temple is still quite common. |
