Quan Su Pagoda opens all night for people to worship Buddha's relics

(PLVN) - Instead of opening until 9 p.m. as originally planned, Quan Su Pagoda decided to open all night on the days of worshiping Buddha's relics to create favorable conditions for the public to come and admire and pay homage.

Previously, the Buddha's relics were brought to Quan Su Pagoda (headquarters of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha) on May 13. From May 14 to the morning of May 16, the relics were placed on the first floor of the Quan Su Pagoda hall for Buddhists and people from all over to come and worship.

According to records, from early morning on May 14, thousands of monks, nuns, Buddhists, and people in Hanoi and many other provinces and cities gathered at Quan Su Pagoda to line up to worship the relics. Even late at night, the line of people still stretched for kilometers.

To meet the wishes of the masses to be able to worship Buddha's relics, Quan Su Pagoda decided to open all night instead of only until 9pm as originally planned.

Quan Su Pagoda said that monks, nuns, Buddhists, residents and tourists do not need to register in advance. The pagoda will not collect or accept any fees from people coming to worship, and will not accept wreaths or offerings.

The organizers note that people coming to worship the relics must line up in order, move in rows, and remain absolutely silent. At the same time, people must not take photos or film inside the relics and the worship areas. Children under 2 years old and people wearing inappropriate clothing will not be allowed to enter the relics.

From May 17 to May 21, the relics will continue to be brought to Tam Chuc Pagoda ( Ha Nam ) before returning to India. Prayers for peace, chanting and worshiping at Tam Chuc Pagoda will be held continuously for 5 days.
