The lotus flower has become a symbol of the soul and character of the Vietnamese nation, through thousands of years of history. In Buddhism, the lotus flower is a symbol of spiritual enlightenment, expressing the Buddha nature inherent in every human being.

The exhibition is expected to spread the Buddha’s message of peace, honour artistic creation from the pure beauty of the lotus, and bring positive emotions to the audience.
