The Buddhist art exhibition "Early Summer Lotus IX" opened at Art Space, 42 Yet Kieu Street ( Hanoi ) on May 24th, organized by the Mac Huong Buddhist Artists Group in collaboration with artists from the UNESCO Hanoi Center.
This is an annual art event held during the Buddha's birthday season, and it also holds special significance as it commemorates the 2650th anniversary of the Buddha's birth. The exhibition space showcases works inspired by lotus flowers, Buddhist teachings, and the artist's journey of inner contemplation.

The exhibition brings together 55 works by 37 artists in various materials such as lacquer, oil paint, silk, acrylic, watercolor, and sculpture. The creations range from traditional realism to abstract, simultaneous, and contemporary expression.
According to Venerable Thich Minh Hien, Deputy Head of the Standing Committee of the Central Culture Committee of the Vietnam Buddhist Association, the lotus flower in Buddhist art is not only an aesthetic symbol but also associated with the spirit of enlightenment, purity, and compassion.
Venerable Thich Minh Hien believes that when creating artworks about lotuses, Buddhist artists not only recreate the beauty of the flower but also convey inner contemplation, mindfulness, and gratitude towards the Buddha. Each work therefore reflects the essence of life while also conveying a message of goodness and peace.
Beyond simply showcasing art, "Early Summer Lotus IX" also opens up a space where art and Buddhism intersect, allowing the public to find tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Through painting and sculpture, the exhibition contributes to spreading the cultural and spiritual values of Buddhism closer to contemporary life.
