NDO - The Vietnamese Buddhist Sangha (VBS) celebrated the birth of the Buddha with a private ceremony on May 26 with fewer attendees than usual but livestreamed on social media for Buddhists to attend virtually.
The event, held at the Quan Su Temple in Hanoi, was scaled down as Vietnam is struggling with a new, more contagious coronavirus outbreak and as such, restrictions have been put in place to prevent the spread of the virus.
At the ceremony, a message from the VBS Supreme Patriarch Thich Pho Tue was read, in which he reiterates that humans need to work together to address current crises, notably the Covid-19 pandemic, which is still a serious affliction upon the world.
