People are happy even though they have to wait 5 hours for 1 minute to worship Buddha's relics

Thousands of people lined the streets around Quan Su Pagoda - where relics brought back from India are enshrined - to pay homage, considering this a precious opportunity to be present before the Buddha.

On the morning of May 14, the space for worshiping Buddha's relics at Quan Su Pagoda ( Hanoi ) opened to welcome visitors. On the morning of the first day of worship, people lined up in many lines on the streets around the pagoda.

The streets around the pagoda such as the intersections of Ly Thuong Kiet - Quan Su, Da Tuong, and Tran Binh Trong are all given priority to barricade visitors to queue up and go through the yard of the Vietnam-Soviet Friendship Palace to enter the pagoda.

The average waiting time is about 4-5 hours, many groups from other provinces and cities come, some elderly people have to leave the line to sit and rest. Also due to the large number of visitors, the time to worship the relics in the main hall is also urgent. According to records, visitors go in 2 lines to walk around the relics, the time is no more than 1 minute.

As planned, the Buddha relic worshiping activity at Quan Su Pagoda, Hanoi will last until 9:30 p.m. on May 16./.
