Attending the Vu Lan ceremony, everyone listened to monks and nuns share dharma talks about the origin of Vu Lan and many contents related to the topic of filial piety in Buddhism, family morality, and the merit of giving birth and raising parents in a touching way. Photo: Huy Thu

During the Vu Lan festival, the ceremony of pinning roses on the chest is solemnly held, showing the filial piety of children and grandchildren to their parents, and of Buddhists to monks. Each flower color symbolizes a different meaning: Red roses are for those who still have parents, sending a message to live lovingly while their parents are still alive. White roses are for those whose parents have passed away, reminding them to always remember their parents' upbringing... Photo: Huy Thu

On the occasion of Vu Lan festival, some pagodas have given many meaningful gifts to Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, families with meritorious services, war invalids and martyrs, and families in difficult circumstances in the area.

Vu Lan Festival opens a season of gratitude and filial piety with many humane messages, reminding generations of children to remember the birth and upbringing of their parents, grandparents, ancestors as well as previous generations. Mr. Cao Hung Diep, a Buddhist in Dien Lien commune (Dien Chau) shared: When Vu Lan season comes, I miss my parents very much. My parents have been gone for a long time. Loving my father and mother, I only know how to show filial piety by doing good deeds, practicing well to dedicate merit to my parents. Photo: Huy Thu

The hand-washing ritual for parents in the Vu Lan ceremony, along with the profound guidance of the monks, brought many people to tears. Ms. Tran Thu Trang in block 2A, Thanh Chuong town, attended the Vu Lan ceremony at Nguu Tu pagoda and shared: The program is very meaningful, leaving many deep impressions, helping people understand more about the spirit of filial piety and the merits of parents. Although I am 34 years old, this is the first time I held a towel to wipe my father's hands with so many emotions. I feel guilty towards my parents. Photo: Huy Thu
