A view of the memorial ceremony.

In a solemn atmosphere, thousands of monks, nuns, Buddhists and visitors offered incense and prayers for peace and prosperity, while reflecting on the life and legacy of Phap Loa, the eminent successor of Tran Nhan Tong. The ceremony is a meaningful spiritual event that helps promote the image of Yen Tu as a World Cultural Heritage site and attract large numbers of visitors during the peak summer tourism season.
