This is “Tượng Phật Trắng” or White Statue of Buddha – the largest outdoor Buddha statue in Vietnam. The statue was built on the top of a hill at Long Son Pagoda, Nha Trang city in 1964-1965.
Buddhism has continued to play important roles in Vietnam culture. Lots of Vietnamese pray to Buddha when they face extreme difficulties and sufferings.
In the face of the novel coronavirus outbreak all around the world, we pray to Buddha that this will soon pass. But the more important and practical things to do are to wash your hands regularly, wear a mask while in public and minimize unnecessary travel.
We hope you are all safe!
