The Vu Lan festival and the process of transforming consciousness

English review | Ngoc Tu - 10:31, 21/10/2026
(DTTG) - Within the framework of Buddhist doctrine, filial piety is not merely a compulsory social norm; rather, it is elevated to a method of spiritual practice leading toward liberation. For Buddhists, the Ullambana (Vu Lan) season, a time dedicated to filial gratitude serves as an occasion for profound reflection on the spirit of filial piety, the enactment of such devotion and the practice of the “Four Profound Gratitudes” within one’s daily life. The foundation of the Ullambana spirit lies in the integration of a “filial heart” (a sense of gratitude) and “filial conduct” (acts of showing appreciation). Drawing inspiration from the scriptural account of the Venerable Maudgalyayana rescuing his mother, Buddhists come to realize that the debt of gratitude owed to one’s parents for the gift of life is immeasurable, a debt that cannot be fully repaid through mere material offerings.

(DTTG) - Within the Buddhist doctrinal framework, filial piety is not merely a compulsory social norm but is elevated to a spiritual practice leading to liberation. For Buddhists, the Vu Lan season serves as an occasion for deep reflection on the spirit and practice of filial piety, as well as on the path of honoring the “Four Great Gratitudes” in everyday life. The essence of the Vu Lan spirit lies in the union of a “filial heart” (act of gratitude) and “filial conduct” (acts of repaying that gratitude). Drawing inspiration from the scriptural account of the Venerable Maudgalyayana saving his mother, Buddhists recognize that the debt of gratitude owed to parents for giving them life is immeasurable something that cannot be fully repaid through material means alone.
