This is a sacred ceremony, opening a special historical event when the Vietnamese people enter a new era of development - prosperity, prosperity and sustainability.

According to a reporter in Laos, the ceremony includes three bell rings, a Prajna drum, chanting and spiritual activities to pray for national peace and prosperity, to awaken the sacred spirit of the mountains and rivers and the strength of national unity.

Sharing about the significance of the ceremony, Venerable Thich Minh Quang, Abbot of Phat Tich Pagoda in Vientiane, said that the ceremony to pray for national peace and prosperity not only has spiritual value but is also an opportunity to connect Vietnamese people everywhere to turn their hearts to the Fatherland. The three bells and drums of Bat Nha awaken the national spirit, reminding each Vietnamese person to live responsibly, lovingly and contributing to a peaceful and prosperous country.

Under the guidance of Venerable Thich Minh Quang and Venerable Thich Minh Nguyet, Buddhists chanted sutras, prayed and expressed their faith and hope in the longevity of the Vietnamese people.

In the solemn and emotional atmosphere, Ms. Tran Thi Tuyet Anh, a Buddhist at Phat Tich Pagoda in Vientiane, shared that it had been a long time since she had felt such a strong connection between the Vietnamese community far away from their homeland. The three bells and drums sounded like they awakened her soul, making her both choked up and full of hope for the future of the country.

As for Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, 70 years old, who has lived in Laos for 35 years, she said that no matter where she is, every time she recites sutras to pray for national peace and prosperity, she feels as if she has gained more strength.

In a world full of turmoil, this prayer ceremony is a reminder for Vietnamese people to preserve morality, love each other, and together look towards their homeland, together building a strong Vietnam. The event is not only a symbolic religious ceremony, but also a concrete expression of the Buddhist spirit accompanying the nation.

At the same time, in addition to Phat Tich Pagoda in Vientiane, 13 other Vietnamese pagodas across Laos also simultaneously held this solemn ceremony, demonstrating the deep spiritual and cultural connection between the Vietnamese community in Laos and the motherland, an invisible thread connecting millions of hearts towards the Fatherland of Vietnam./.
