What do Vietnamese pagodas usually do on the Quán Thế Âm festival day?
At many pagodas, the festival day includes sessions of chanting the Universal Gateway chapter, worship, recitation of the Bodhisattva's name, releasing living beings, or doing charity. The scale of organization differs depending on the tradition, school and conditions of each pagoda; Vietnamese Buddhism brings together both the Northern and Southern traditions, so the way the festival is celebrated also differs.
