by Chi Lan (GNO) Thánh Thủy translated to English Read in Vietnamese  People doing their Tombs cleaning on Tao Mo day – a beautiful custom of the Vietnamese people during Tet.
In the few days when the old year about to finish, with the warmer weather to welcome the temperature change, and the early spring breeze caressing and refreshing our existence, the lines of the famous poetic story of old suddenly came to mind. Nostalgia abound! Remember those days in the country, remember the timeless family gathering during Tet, remember the preparation taken for our reverential trip to the back land for the traditional custom of Tomb Sweeping Day |

Giáng Kiết Tường translated to English Read in Vietnamese
 Incense burning during the Buddhist holidays as well as days to remember one’s ancestors and especially during Tet – our Lunar New Year, is a must-do and a beautiful gesture that reflects our thousand-year-old tradition. A bundle of incense sticks is likely compared to a spiritual bridge allowing humankind to reach over to those of the supernatural world elsewhere in the heaven and earth. You may say that incense has crossed the threshold into practically all people’s homes; it embraces a particular importance in the lives of the Vietnamese people, as well as the gentle people of many other nations in the south east Asia continent. |
