The ceremony was also attended by monks, nuns, Buddhists and many Lao people.
The great festival of Vu Lan filial piety at Phat Tich Pagoda in the capital city of Vientiane (Laos) is celebrated with traditional rites of both Vietnamese and Laotian Buddhism.
This is an annual activity organised by Phat Tich Pagoda in order to preserve the traditional culture in the lives of the Vietnamese community in Laos, and at the same time, it is also an opportunity for Buddhists to express their gratitude towards their parents (especially mothers).
This is also an event that shows the special relationship and close cohesion of monks, nuns and Buddhists from Vietnam and Laos.
