Many unique experiences at the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Festival
In Buddhist concept, Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is a symbol of love, great compassion, great mercy, always listening and saving sentient beings. To remember and honor the merits of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, every year, Buddhists around the world often celebrate Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara's birthday on the 19th day of the 2nd lunar month.

This year, at Ba Den Mountain, the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's birthday ceremony is held from March 15-18 (February 16-19 of the lunar calendar) with many meaningful cultural and spiritual activities.
Today, the Ba Pagoda system is a place for Buddhists and pilgrims to visit the 3-century-old Linh Son Tien Thach ancient temple, and the Linh Son Thanh Mau temple associated with the legend of Ba Den with the bodhisattva heart to save sentient beings.
Sitting under the great bell, listening to the peaceful sound of the bell and reflecting on one's own nature to find peace - that will be an experience that visitors should not miss when coming to Ba Temple.
On the weekend of March 15-16, an art performance program imbued with Tay Ninh’s cultural identity will be held on the highest mountain in the South. Here, visitors will immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of Chhay dam drum dance, Khmer dance, sang say dance, or the melodious melody of the pentatonic music – a typical traditional musical instrument of the Khmer people in Tay Ninh.

In particular, at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 15, the ceremony to offer lanterns to celebrate the birth of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara will be solemnly held at the square of the great Buddha statue of Tay Bo Da Son, with the participation of thousands of Buddhists and tourists.
This is the moment for people to express their respect and send their wishes for peace and luck to Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, and to return to their kind nature, lighting up their compassion and forgiveness following the Bodhisattva's example.

Coming to Ba Den Mountain this time, visitors cannot miss the unique early spring experiences such as checking in with thousands of tulips blooming in the last season of the year, visiting the exhibition of thousands of lanterns with folk-inspired paintings, or watching the unique water music show at the area of the Maitreya Bodhisattva statue. Coming to Ba Mountain early in the morning to hunt for clouds is also an extremely interesting experience that you should not miss, especially when the South is entering the hot season.
Watch free music show at the foot of the mountain
Right after the lantern offering ceremony on the mountain top, visitors should not forget to go down to the foot of the mountain to join in the vibrant atmosphere of the music night "Welcoming the luck of Ba Mountain - Welcoming the spring as you wish" with the participation of two famous singers Noo Phuoc Thinh and Nguyen Tran Trung Quan.
The program is jointly organized by Doc Mong Mo and Sun World Ba Den Mountain for free to show gratitude to visitors at the Ba Den Mountain cable car station square. Singer Noo Phuoc Thinh has created a festive atmosphere with a series of hit hits such as What Did You Do Last Year (musician Bui Cong Nam), If You Are So Poor, Come Back to Your Adoptive Mother (musician Phat Huy T4), Come Home, Just Come Back (musician Kevin Pham)...
Meanwhile, Nguyen Tran Trung Quan will bring the soulful melodies of My Mother (Musician Tran Tien), Mother Loves Child (Musician Nguyen Van Ty), Mashup Tu Tam / Mau Nuoc Mat (Musician Nguyen Thuong)...
The free music night “Welcoming the luck of Ba Mountain – Welcoming the spring as you wish” is expected to welcome a large number of locals and tourists to Ba Den Mountain. The program is expected to be a real spring festival, recreating the “festival camping” in January, where thousands of people gather and immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of music and light. This is an experience that you will not want to miss to discover a rare festival culture found nowhere else on the highest mountain in the South.
