On September 8, 2023, more than 100 monks, nuns, and lay Buddhists of the Thabarwa Meditation Center, led by its founder Venerable Sayadaw U Ottamasara, visited Ba Vang Pagoda. On their arrival, Thay Thich Truc Thai Minh and his disciples welcomed the delegation and guided them on a tour around Ba Vang Pagoda, introducing them to its cultural architecture and stories.

Prominently, the delegation had a chance to enter the meditation forest where the monks of Ba Vang Pagoda are practicing and had a unique experience there. Reflecting upon this special visit, Venerable Sayadaw U Ottamasara expressed: “I'm satisfied and besides, I'm surprised because Vietnam is not a Buddhist country so I don't think this kind of pagoda [where the Sangha practice in the forest] exists here. If I haven't visited here, I might not believe it.”

This trip was a great occasion to exchange Dharma friendship between Vietnamese and Burmese Buddhism.

Below are some images taken from the event.

"The world's largest on-mountain Buddhist lecture hall," adorned with 17 paintings depicting temples from many countries around the world, was one of the destinations that might leave a good impression on the group.

The hand-holding of Dharma friendship represented the harmony between monks like water and milk, as taught by the Buddha.
