The Buddhist Association of Thien Phuc pagoda held a requiem for heroic martyrs sacrificed to protect the sovereignty over the sea and islands of the country in Poland’s Warsaw on August 26th.
At the requiem, Mr. Chanh Tue Quy, a representative of the Buddhist Association and the head of the ceremony, stressed that the sea and islands are inseparable parts of Vietnam. Over the periods of struggle, our forefathers heroically sacrificed to protect the sacred sovereignty over the sea and islands of the country, especially sovereignty over Truong Sa and Hoang Sa archipelagoes.
The requiem was held to show the great gratitude for heroic martyrs who sacrificed for the cause of protecting the sovereignty over the sea and islands of Vietnam, as well as represent the tradition of remembering the origin and Buddhist philosophy of Vietnamese people.
In the coming time, the Buddhists of Thien Phuc pagoda will continue to coordinate with the associations of the Vietnamese community in Poland to organize activities towards the homeland, practically contributing to marking the 70th anniversary of the National Day and 65 years of Vietnam-Poland diplomatic relations establishment./.
