- Abstract
The belief of worshiping Quan Am (Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva) plays an important role in Vietnamese cultural life. While the statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is worshipped in most pagodas in Viet Nam, the festival is only celebrated by the one in Ngu Hanh Son district (Da Nang province) on February 19th of the lunar calendar. The festival which consists of two parts: the religious ceremony and festival itself, reflects the association between the Buddhist culture and folk beliefs in the Central region of Viet Nam. In addition, it also performs certain social functions.
