15th Lunar January Month in Saigon

Published:

Last weekend was a very important time for Vietnamese Buddhists.  Normally on the 14th, 15th and/or 16th Lunar January, Vietnamese worshippers go to the pagodas to offer prayers for good luck for the new lunar year.  I took some pictures from a visit to a pagoda in the Phu Nhuan District last weekend.
