On January 5, 2025, a delegation of Burmese Buddhist monks visited Ba Vang Pagoda and extended their greetings to Thay Thich Truc Thai Minh, the abbot, and the monastic community.

In the ceremony, the Buddhists had an opportunity to listen to Thay's teachings in preparation for the new year.

This unique collection is exclusive to Ba Vang Pagoda and has earned three prestigious titles: World Record, Asia Record, and Vietnam Record.

A special feature of Ba Vang Pagoda is 18 Arahant statues carved from stone and gilded with 99.98% pure gold

Growing up in a forest surrounded by three mountains, an old fig tree was transplanted into the garden of a family in Hoanh Bo District, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam in 2010.

The Buddha's relics are crystallized from his precepts, samadhi (concentration), and wisdom, obtained from his ashes after his cremation.
