Most Venerable Thich Minh Quang, Vice President of the Executive Council of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha, spoke at the opening ceremony.

In his opening speech, Most Venerable Thich Minh Quang, Vice President of the Executive Council of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha, shared a very meaningful message about the remarkable archaeological discoveries in the Tam Chuc area. Specifically, the remains of ancient Vietnamese people dating back about 10,000 years were found in Doi 4 cave, along with valuable artifacts such as ironwood pillars and lotus-shaped stone bases at the bottom of Tam Chuc lake. These discoveries not only affirm that Tam Chuc is a sacred Buddhist land, but are also evidence of an ancient culture, contributing to clarifying the important position of this place in the history of the Vietnamese people.

In fact, more than 1,000 years ago, during the Dinh Dynasty, Tam Chuc was not only a Buddhist center, but also the origin of early Vietnamese civilization.

The Tam Chuc Spring Festival, held annually in early spring, has become an occasion to honor, preserve and promote the traditional cultural values ​​of the Vietnamese people. Venerable Thich Minh Quang emphasized: "The opening ceremony of the spring festival at Tam Chuc Pagoda is not only the expectation of the people and Buddhist followers, but also an opportunity for us to preserve precious cultural values, introduce the image of our homeland and country to international friends. This is also an opportunity for Buddhists at home and abroad to come and worship Buddha at one of the largest Buddhist wonders of the country".

In his speech at the opening ceremony, Chairman of Ha Nam Provincial People's Committee Truong Quoc Huy affirmed that Tam Chuc tourist area is one of the special destinations, with outstanding cultural and tourism values ​​of the province. Not only famous for its beautiful natural landscape, Tam Chuc is also the spiritual and cultural center of Vietnam, attracting millions of visitors each year.
