In Vietnam, a large number of devotees are paying their respects to the Holy Buddhist Relics at the prominent Quan Su Pagoda temple in the capital city of Hanoi. The sacred relics of Lord Buddha have been sent from Sarnath in India and were enshrined in the Buddhist temple yesterday with ceremonial ritual and prayers conducted by monks from India and Vietnam. The relics will be displayed in the temple till Friday. India’s gesture of sending the holy relics to Vietnam has been appreciated by Vietnamese President Luong Cuong as a move that has further strengthened the strong spiritual and cultural ties between both countries. The holy relics were brought from India on 2nd of this month by Union Minister Kiren Rijiju-led Indian delegation. The holy relics will remain in Vietnam until 21st of May as part of the UN Day of Vesak celebrations. The relics were earlier displayed at Thanh Tam Pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City, and then in Ba Den Mountain in Tay Ninh province.
