Buddhist Le Vu Lan Festival
Quan Su Pagoda is one of the top 3 pagodas in Hanoi where many Buddha worshippers go to pray on Le Vu Lan Festival. The festival falls in the 15th of the 7th month of the lunar calendar. It is an opportunity for people to pray for their parents and great, great grand-parents, both living or passed away.
Upon arrival, worshippers wear white followers for those whose parents have died and red flowers for those whose parents are still living. They pray the best for living ones and for the deceased's souls to be at peace. A prayer says when their parents are dead, they go to the west where the sun sets. Fruit-Laden tables are displayed for those who died and look for the way to the west; now, they are hungry.
