People's Artist Phuong Loan shared: "I feel extremely happy and peaceful when I can contribute to spreading the message of compassion, wisdom and peace of Buddhism through the folk art form that I pursue.
Cai luong stage is the bridge connecting national spirit and spiritual values on this important occasion."
People's Artist Thoại Miêu, who has been associated with the White Orchid Club founded by Meritorious Artist Út Bạch Lan, which specializes in organizing art performances combined with giving charity gifts to the poor at pagodas, confided: "Being able to transform into a small role in a play or a reformed opera excerpt with profound spiritual influence is a very special experience.
According to the will of the late Meritorious Artist Ut Bach Lan, we still maintain the activities of the Club and during these meaningful days of celebrating Buddha's birthday. The activities of the Club are a joy for us when performing ancient songs and excerpts of reformed opera written about Buddha."
