Under the theme Illuminating the Way of Life, the exhibition aspires to offer the public a profound appreciation of the moral and spiritual values of Buddhism in modern living.

Beyond artistic beauty, the works convey profound humanistic philosophies, spreading messages of compassion, kindness, and the wisdom of Buddhism.

Most Venerable Thich Tho Lac emphasized that Buddhism has been part of Vietnam's cultural and spiritual fabric for thousands of years.

Throughout its journey, Buddhism has stood alongside the Vietnamese people through historical ups and downs, providing faith and guiding individuals toward the values of truth, goodness, and beauty.

The exhibition features 51 works by 12 talented artists.

“Temples have always been sanctuaries—not only places of worship but also symbols of sacred harmony, where people seek solace and inner peace. This exhibition honors these values, allowing viewers to reflect, immerse themselves in the artistic space, and understand the significance of Buddhism in daily life,” shared Most Venerable Thich Tho Lac.

The exhibition will run from November 21 to November 28, 2024, at the Hanoi Exhibition Center.
