(KPL/VNA) A prayer and candle-lighting ceremony was held on November 1 at Phat Tich Pagoda in Vientiane to pray for communities affected by recent storms and floods in Vietnam’s northern and central provinces.

In recent days, heavy rains, landslides, and successive storms have battered many parts of Vietnam, causing severe loss of life and property. Numerous homes have been swept away, roads cut off, and thousands of residents forced to evacuate as their lives are thrown into mounting hardship.

At the ceremony, monks, nuns, and Buddhist followers chanted sutras and lit lotus-shaped candles, offering prayers for peace and expressing deep sympathy for the losses suffered by people back home.

The event was not only a deeply meaningful religious event but also a reflection of the Vietnamese community in Laos’ strong sense of solidarity and connection with their homeland.
