Early in the morning, amidst the sound of pine trees and the morning mist, Buddhists from all over came to Tu Hieu Pagoda, walked in mindfulness, entered the Full Moon Zen Hall, and prepared for the ceremonies. Everything took place in silence, with reverence, according to the funeral rites.
This is an occasion for monks, nuns, and Buddhists to come together and practice together to nurture gratitude to the ancestral temple and to the Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. Each vow of the practice journey is a wreath, a stick of fragrant incense offered to the Zen master. In that atmosphere, any seat, any road can become a place of practice...
The funeral was held according to the funeral rites.

Ms. Le Thi Da Thao (43 years old, a Buddhist in Hue City, Thua Thien - Hue) came here many days ago with other Buddhists. "The steps at Tu Hieu Pagoda help me feel that everywhere there are traces of the monk's footsteps. Here, everyone cherishes the moments of leisurely walking on the paths of the pagoda, happy to meet again with dear fellow practitioners and listen to stories...", Ms. Thao said.
