Come to Tay Ninh to have fun on September 2nd

Slow living in Ba Den mountain

From a Buddhist perspective, the sacred Ba Den mountain is believed to awaken the “four boundless minds” - that is, the four inherent virtues in every person, including: Kindness, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity. The journey begins from the tallest Buddha statue in Asia on the top of the mountain, symbolizing Kindness and Compassion, gradually sloping down to 5 giant water plates in the stylized image of 5 lotus petals, through a large square and ending at the world's largest sandstone statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva - the Bodhisattva symbolizing Joy and Equanimity.

Admiring the great spiritual structures on the top of Ba Den Mountain, meditating before the Prajnaparamita Sutra pillar engraved with 12,000 Tibetan characters, praying while turning the prayer wheel to find peace, and bowing before the relics of Buddha Shakyamuni, these are moments that help you slow down, fully understand the wonders of Buddhism and clearly feel the peace in your soul.

Thousands of sparkling lanterns light up the top of Ba Mountain, representing thousands of wishes from visitors offered to Buddha. This will be the most unforgettable slow-paced moment when coming to the highest mountain in the South.

To celebrate National Day this year, many unique art shows recreating intangible cultural heritages in Tay Ninh such as Chhay dam drum dance, Khmer dance, pentatonic music, etc. will be performed throughout the holiday, bringing a jubilant festival atmosphere to visitors.
