With the theme “Buddhism with peace”, an awe-inspiring exhibition showcasing 138 photos was recently held for a week. The photos were carefully selected from the “Buddhism with Peace” contest, which was open from March 31 to May 15 and received an incredible 1,200 entries from photographers across the country.
Speaking at the event, President of the association Doan Hoai Trung highlighted the importance of the exhibition in spreading meaningful and sacred images of Buddhism, as well as expressing gratitude for the invaluable contributions of Bodhisattva Thich Quang Duc to Vietnamese Buddhism.
The works focus on reflecting and promoting the role of values and aspiration for peace in the Buddhist spirit, condemning crimes and the consequences of wars, and fostering the spirit of friendship and solidarity.
