Prayer on the 1st of the 7th lunar month
Praying on the first day of the lunar month every month is a traditional ritual not only to pray for oneself and family, but also to wish for peace and prosperity in life.
The prayer on the first day of the lunar month is not only a sacred prayer, but also a way to connect with the culture and traditions of the Vietnamese people. At the same time, it is an opportunity for each person to express gratitude and respect to ancestors and gods, through which we are more responsible for ourselves, our families and society, wishing for a peaceful and happy life.
When reciting the prayer, be solemn and sincere to show your filial piety and gratitude to your ancestors. After finishing the prayer, sit quietly for a while to calm your mind and reflect on the meaning of the ritual.
