Buddhist cultural centre inaugurated in Hue City
Update: Feb 26, 2009
A Buddhist cultural centre, built at a cost of VND5 billion, was inaugurated in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue on February 26.

The Lieu Quan Buddhist Cultural Centre incorporates a two-storey building with a total acreage of 1,210m² and a garden, housing a variety of ornamental plants.

Once various parts of the centre were completed and put into use during its 20-month construction process, a number of cultural activities were organised, including photographic and art exhibitions.

It has already established itself as a Buddhist centre, not only for monks, nuns and followers of the faith, but also tourists, who visit to experience the tranquility of the venue and take in the Buddhist books, prayers and other publications that are on display there.
