An event organised by Tam Chuc Pagoda in collaboration with Tam Chuc Tourism on January 7-8 aims to promote traditional values centred around the spirit of "mutual love".

Visitors from all over the country will gather and wrap banh chung to donate to disadvantaged people and orphans on the occasion of the Lunar New Year. Organisers of the programme wish to deliver a welcoming space for tourists and volunteers and an opportunity for everyone to come together to promote traditional values and connect the community through a spirit of "mutual love" this festive break.

According to a representative from Tam Chuc Tourism, a similar event was held two years ago and achieved positive results, with tourists and Buddhists coming together to support and donate to people in difficult circumstances so close to the Lunar New Year.

Visitors arriving in Tam Chuc can not only worship the Buddha and visit the pagoda, they can also participate in meaningful social activities and admire the Bodhi tree, which has the longest life span of any tree in the world, given by the president of the National Assembly of Sri Lanka.
