The connection of each family is very important to build a good and humane society
Each of us is born into this world with a family. The concept and sense of family is formed when we are originally our parents, then our siblings and parents... A little older, we understand more about our parents' parents. we (i.e. grandparents), aunts, uncles on both sides of our father's genealogy and our mother's... Bigger, we have friends, colleagues and relationships extra-social relations. When we get married, we will have beautiful children. Our wife or husband will be a close, caring and responsible person...
Thus, the tight bond of each family is due to the interest of each member of the genealogy as I mentioned above. In Vietnam, there is a very good tradition of family attachment for many thousands of years. Sharing a house can have 4 generations living together very warmly... Nowadays with the development of economy, generations living together in a house have decreased, which means the members will be more free in your living space...
The road with many trees at home
Every year in the 7th lunar month, Vietnam has a custom to celebrate Vu Lan - or the ceremony of filial piety. This is an occasion for children or grandchildren to remember their ancestors, the deceased or the parents who are living today. Procedures such as going to the temple to chant Buddhist scriptures or do good things for parents... are often carried out by Vietnamese families... My wife drives a Mazda by herself to take the members back to her hometown. Everyone is very excited and grateful before this pilgrimage to visit their hometown.
The group is going to the graves to burn incense for the ancestors
Our family is also very attentive to this. Last week, my wife, parents, children and grandchildren returned to their hometown in Nam Dinh province to burn incense for our ancestors (such as grandparents, grandparents, heroes and martyrs...) clan churches. Important items such as: burning incense, votive paper, fruit, confectionery, purified water ... are purchased to bring back home.
Autumn moon - Our daughter is burning incense
Our children and our grandchildren had a very rewarding pilgrimage back home, having witnessed and participated in services at the church, at the cemetery and at the altars of the order. They... They will have the opportunity to know more about the family lineage, the generations of their ancestors, about the procedures of the celebrate Vu Lan ...
This helps them - the young people love their family more, their grandparents, their parents and their brothers more, life skills - better problem-solving skills... Thus they will have a clearer mind, or do good deeds better... They have more motivation to study and do better research and become good citizens of Vietnam in the future. We will always pay attention to educate the good traditions of the family and society for our children... !
