Today, October 23, Long Quang Pagoda brought the first 4,000 banh Tet strokes to the people of Central Vietnam.

Although Ms. Thom is very old, she is still diligently wrapping banh tet to help people.

And Mr. Huynh Thanh Tam (58 years old, living in Ward 2, Vinh Long City) also gave his business to his wife, taking advantage of the temple to contribute material and effort to pack banh Tet. “Again, I told my wife to give me an early leave to go and bake a cake to help the people of the Central region, she agreed immediately. Since the afternoon, I can pack more than a dozen attacks, ”Mr. Tam said, crouching down and speaking.

Banana leaves collected from everywhere are cleaned before wrapping.

The little temple is packed with people, each with each job, operating extremely smoothly as parts of the “ancient machine” of making banh Tet. Ms. Nguyen Thi My Linh (26, living in An Binh Commune, Long Ho District, Vinh Long Province) said that she was an employee of a large hotel in Vinh Long City. Understanding the suffering of those facing natural disasters in central Vietnam, he boldly requested 3 days off to go to the temple to pack banh Tet.

Improved crafting, cakes for more than a week.

Venerable Thich Minh Tinh (representative of Long Quang Pagoda), who started the banh Tet package, said: “Seeing the floods, I want to help. Initially I planned to mobilize rice, noodles … but with rice, flooded water and no electricity, so what to cook with. That is why I have devised a way to mobilize Buddhists to pack banh Tet for their relatives to use temporarily and have the strength to overcome this difficulty. “

The venerable Thich Minh Tinh personally reviewed each pot of banh Tet.

Because the area of ​​the pagoda is too small, the pagoda was contacted to borrow a cake baking spot at H.Mang Thit (Vinh Long) to make enough 10,000 banh Tet balls. Traditional banh tet often mix coconut milk to grease it, but Long Quang Pagoda does not use coconut milk to preserve it for a long time. The temple banh tet only uses glutinous rice, green beans, less salt and sugar, so it can last more than a week.

Glutinous rice and green bean ingredients must be prepared at Long Quang Pagoda for more than a week.

Modern Duc Thich Minh Tinh contacted Buddhists in the central provinces to receive the cake and contacted local authorities to distribute the cakes to relatives. “On the morning of October 23, the first 4,000 wheel breeders will board the bus and head directly to the Central region. The next day, our relatives already had bread, ”said Venerable Thich Minh Tinh.
