(Baonghean.vn) - In the first days of the new year of the Rat, many Buddhists and tourists from all over the country flocked to major pagodas in the province to worship Buddha and pray for peace. On this occasion, football player Phan Van Duc and young singer Ha Quynh Nhu were also present at Gam Pagoda.

Going to the pagoda at the beginning of the year has long become a beautiful feature in the spiritual and cultural life of Vietnamese people. In Nghe An, along with the revival of Buddhism, this beauty is spreading everywhere. In the photo: People go on a spring outing at Dai Tue Pagoda (Nam Dan)

The temple is a peaceful and quiet place. People go to the temple at the beginning of the year with the hope of finding peace, getting rid of the worries and anxieties of the old year and praying for luck and happiness in the new year.

Go to the temple at the beginning of the year to worship Buddha, sightsee, pick lucky branches and receive blessings from monks.

At the beginning of the year, people and Buddhists go to the pagoda to ask for calligraphy. Some monks with a talent for calligraphy have taken up the pen to write calligraphy on this occasion, contributing to the beauty of the Spring day at the pagoda.

The image of giving letters, which seems old, is now gradually being restored in pagodas. This is a cultural feature that shows the respect for letters, learning, knowledge as well as the wish for a lucky new year, wealth, longevity...

Young people when coming to the temple also write their wishes. During Tet, in front of the temple yard there is usually a green tree with many red silk ribbons hanging, called the "wishing tree" for Buddhists and visitors to write their wishes for the year.

On this occasion, the family of player Phan Van Duc also went to Chi Linh pagoda (Gam pagoda, Yen Thanh) to enjoy spring and receive blessings.

The Voice Kids champion Ha Quynh Nhu also went to Chi Linh pagoda to pray for peace and sightsee.

Every Tet holiday, pagodas are often decorated with many unique structures, imbued with the traditional beauty of Vietnamese Tet, quite attractive to tourists, especially young people.

In the joyful atmosphere of the first days of the new year, many families have chosen pagodas as their destination for their spring and Tet journey. In the photo: Co Am Pagoda (Dien Chau) on the first day of the new year.
