In the cultural and spiritual life of the Vietnamese people, the worship of the Three Realms Mother Goddess is not only a spiritual refuge but also a space for nurturing humanistic values, promoting goodness and sharing.
Amidst this flow, many individuals have quietly contributed with dedication and responsibility, among whom the medium Hoang Nguyen Phuong Thao is a prime example, recognized for her persistent contributions to preserving cultural heritage, uniting religious communities, and spreading a spirit of compassion in society.
Representing the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Deputy Minister Trinh Thi Thuy presented a commemorative medal to medium Hoang Nguyen Phuong Thao.
At the Tien La Linh Tu Temple complex, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hung Yen province solemnly held a ceremony to honor and present the "For the Cause of Culture, Sports and Tourism" commemorative medal, awarded by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, to Ms. Hoang Nguyen Phuong Thao.
This prestigious award is a recognition by the state authorities of her practical contributions to the practice, preservation, and promotion of traditional cultural values, especially in the field of folk beliefs.
Deeply connected to the Mother Goddess religion through karmic affinity and profound faith, Ms. Hoang Nguyen Phuong Thao is always acutely aware of the role of the medium in modern society. For her, serving the Holy Mother is not just about performing rituals, but also about the responsibility of maintaining the standards and solemnity of the worship space, while spreading positive moral values to the community of followers and the general public.
In 2025, she was entrusted with the role of head priestess of Mau Doi Son Phu at the Long Doi Son National Special Historical Site (Tien Son ward, Ninh Binh province).
This is a sacred place, deeply rooted in the history and spiritual life of the people. As the temple caretaker, she always prioritizes preserving the landscape, beautifying the worship space, and guiding the practice of religious beliefs in a civilized manner, adhering to proper rituals, and avoiding deviations and superstitious practices.
Also in that year, she accepted another invitation to work at Minh Luong Linh Tu Temple (Yen Son ward, Tuyen Quang province). For her, every place she sets foot in is a sacred responsibility.
Friends and family congratulate Hoang Nguyen Phuong Thao.
There, she not only takes care of the incense burning but also works together with the community to maintain and restore the historical site, fostering unity and solidarity among those practicing the faith, so that the sacred space truly becomes a spiritual anchor for the community.
A highlight of medium Hoang Nguyen Phuong Thao's journey of service is the close connection between her spiritual life and social responsibility. Stemming from the belief that "those who have a calling will reap what they sow, and those who have blessings must share them," she has maintained a consistent and persistent charitable work for many years.
From supporting disadvantaged individuals, lonely elderly people, and underprivileged children to joining hands to help compatriots affected by disasters and calamities, she has always quietly contributed both materially and spiritually.
Her charitable activities are not ostentatious or superficial, but are carried out with sincerity and from the heart. For Ms. Hoang Nguyen Phuong Thao, charity is not just a temporary act of helping, but a way of practicing the "compassion and benevolence" of the Mother Goddess worship in real life.
It is these quiet acts of kindness that have contributed to spreading a positive image of the medium as someone deeply connected to the community, living responsibly, and possessing a compassionate heart.
The awarding of the Commemorative Medal to Ms. Hoang Nguyen Phuong Thao by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is not only a recognition of an individual, but also an expression of appreciation for those who are daily contributing to preserving and spreading the values of national cultural heritage.
Besides her role in religious life, Ms. Hoang Nguyen Phuong Thao is currently the Chairwoman of Thalo Distribution. As a businesswoman, she always strives to balance economic development and social responsibility, considering this as the foundation for long-term, sustainable contributions to cultural and charitable activities.
This parallel partnership has provided her with additional resources and opportunities to continue her community service activities.
"I am deeply moved to receive the 'For the Cause of Culture, Sports and Tourism' commemorative medal from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. This is not only a recognition for an individual, but also an appreciation for those who are contributing daily to preserving and spreading the values of our national cultural heritage," shared Ms. Hoang Nguyen Phuong Thao.
In a rapidly changing social context, individuals like her serve as a bridge between tradition and modernity, between sacred spaces and everyday life.
Therefore, the journey of medium Hoang Nguyen Phuong Thao is not only a journey of serving the Holy Mother, but also a journey of sowing seeds of goodness, cultivating human values, and contributing to enriching the cultural and spiritual life of the community – a silent but persistent journey, worthy of respect in contemporary cultural life.
