Phong Sinh (Buddha's Birthday) Vietnam
Vietnam - Hoi An - Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City - Hue
Phong Sinh in Vietnam is celebrated as a tribute to Lord Buddha. On the day of the Phong Sinh (Buddha's Birthday), Vietnam people remember the hardships and the preaching of this great soul. Vietnamese observe the birth, enlightenment and also the death of Buddha on the same day. They try to follow the teachings and path shown by him in their celebrations as well. Hence caged birds and fishes are released by Buddhists as a mark of respect on Buddha’s Birthday in Vietnam. In Northern Vietnam, natives set free skilled doves and a competition is held between them. The performance of the doves not only symbolizes peace but also makes a fantastic sight.
Festivals like Phong Sinh (Buddha's Birthday) and other festivals strengthen the interpersonal bond among the Vietnamese as it provides a common platform for them to meet. Another major festival that takes place during this time is Ba Chua Xu Festival, Vietnam. Various rituals accompanied by colorful parades make this event very popular among the tourists.
