In the spirit of gratitude and repayment on the first day of the lunar month is the recitation of Ksitigarbha sutra, the Lotus Sutra, releasing animals to spread love, giving 400 vegetarian meals at the hospital, and offering to Buddha and Patriarch.

Dong Cao Pagoda in Thanh Hoa (belonging to Hoang Phap pagoda custom) held an anniversary ceremony to commemorate the 715th anniversary of Buddha Emperor Tran Nhan Tong's Nirvana and the opening of the Infinite Life Sutra on the occasion of Amitabha Buddha's Birthday on December 13th, 2023.

After inviting the monks to the lecture hall, Junior Abbot Thich Tam Hung guided all practitioners to sit in meditation, listening to the memory of Buddha King Tran Nhan Tong. Next, the participants paid homage to Three Jewels, recited sutra, recited Buddha name, walked and offered prayers.

On behalf of all monks, Junior Thich Tam Hung gave Dharma words to the mass on the occasion of the memorial ceremony. ".... Realistic person, Honorable person and Contribution person..." Each person reflects on, learns and practices to be worthy of being Vietnamese, contributing to spreading Buddhism to all people.
