Hanoi people waited for hours to welcome Buddha's relics

At around 4:30 p.m., the procession carrying Buddha's relics arrived at the Vietnam - Soviet Union Friendship Cultural Palace (Hoan Kiem district).

According to the plan, the Buddha's relics will be carried from Noi Bai airport, moving through the main roads of Hanoi capital such as: Vo Chi Cong - Kim Ma - Le Duan - Tran Nhan Tong - Tran Binh Trong and stopping at the Vietnam - Soviet Union Friendship Cultural Palace, before being enshrined at Quan Su pagoda.

The bustling atmosphere welcomed the procession of Buddha's relics on Quan Su street.

Waiting for the procession from noon, Ms. Doan Thi Hao (Bac Tu Liem district) shared: “I came to Quan Su pagoda early to perform the ceremony and participate in the activities to prepare for the welcoming ceremony. I am very excited to be able to worship the Buddha’s relics.”

“Not everyone has the opportunity to see the Buddha's relics with their own eyes before they are enshrined at Quan Su Pagoda,” said Ms. Hao.

Buddhists pray sincerely as the procession moves past.

Volunteers joined the security fence on both sides of the road happily welcoming the Buddha's relics.
