Full moon of July - The beauty of Vu Lan festival to show gratitude to parents

The full moon of July every year is one of the important holidays in the spiritual life of Vietnamese people, with the meaning of Vu Lan, expressing gratitude to parents. In Quang Ninh, the atmosphere of reverence spreads everywhere as people prepare offerings, burn incense to remember their ancestors, show gratitude to their parents and commemorate the deceased. This is not only an occasion to express deep gratitude but also contributes to preserving and spreading the morality of "remembering the source of water when drinking", affirming sustainable human values ​​in the cultural and spiritual life of the community...

From early morning, there were many people going to the market, busy buying offerings to prepare for the 15th day of the 7th lunar month.

People choose to buy seafood at Ha Long II Market to prepare for the full moon day feast.

Sticky rice, cakes, vegetarian dishes, etc. are sold in abundance, serving people's shopping needs.

The 15th day of the 7th lunar month is an important occasion in the spiritual life of Vietnamese people. Every family prepares a complete meal to offer to their ancestors, showing respect, gratitude and praying for peace for the family.

On this occasion, to educate filial piety and foster traditional values ​​for students, Duc Tri Kindergarten (Cao Xanh Ward) also organized extracurricular activities with the theme "Vu Lan Festival", to help children better understand the meaning of "remembering the source of water", knowing how to love and respect grandparents and parents, while contributing to preserving and promoting the beautiful cultural features of the nation.

The bright red flowers were created by the teachers and students themselves to express their feelings to their parents on Vu Lan Festival.

Previously, on September 4, 2025, the 13th day of the 7th lunar month, Long Tien Pagoda, Hong Gai Ward solemnly held the Vu Lan Festival to show gratitude to parents. (Photo: Provided by the unit).

The program attracted the participation of many monks, Buddhists and people.

Each person pins a flower on their left chest to show their respect and gratitude to their parents, while also spreading the education of filial piety - a noble value of Buddhism as well as of the Vietnamese people.
