Hoang Phuc Pagoda Festival

My Thuy, Le Thuy, Quang Binh

Festival of historical relics of Hoang Phuc Pagoda in Quang Binh Every January full moon day, Quang Binh people and tourists from near and far eagerly attend the "Hoang Phuc Pagoda Historical Relics Festival". Hoang Phuc Pagoda National Historical Site is located in Thuan Trach village, My Thuy commune, Le Thuy district, Quang Binh province, established more than 715 years ago - this is one of the oldest pagodas in Central Vietnam. The festival takes place within two days, the 14th and 15th of the first lunar month. The Festival brings together a large number of Buddhists and people from near and far with activities imbued with spiritual beliefs such as the Water Procession Ceremony, Festival Opening Ceremony, Fish Releasing Ceremony;... Among them, the water collection ritual stands out. The water taking ceremony is the opening ritual, considered a particularly important and indispensable ritual in the festival. Originating from the meaning of water in spiritual life, water is the source, the cleansing, the removal of impurities from the human soul, wishing for a year of favorable weather and good harvests. Water will be collected from An Sinh area, Van Minh village, Truong Thuy commune, Le Thuy district (also known as Trooc Vuc) at exactly 0:00 because this is the most pure and spiritual time of the day. Monks of Hoang Phuc Pagoda and leaders of Le Thuy district government held a prayer ceremony at Ong Temple and Ba Temple at the upstream of Kien Giang River, Trooc Vuc An Sinh area, Truong Thuy commune, Le Thuy district, where two branches of Kien Giang river meet. This is an area where the water is clear, clean and cool, with no bottom visible. People participating in the water collection ceremony will be immersed in the sacred space of the sacred mountain and sacred water. You can clearly feel the sound of prayers resounding far away, requiring participants to keep their minds pure and not entangled in everyday life. Water is stored in large jars, this "sacred" water is used to bathe Buddha, to drink, and placed on Buddha altars and ancestral altars with the concept that "sacred" water will bring good luck. The water collection and water procession ritual is a highlight of the Hoang Phuc Pagoda Historical Relics Festival imbued with spiritual and cultural beauty to pray for a new year of peace, good weather, and good harvests.
