Now, the Bodhi path leading to Buddha’s land from Doc Do to the foot of Yen Tu mountain has been realized as a symbol of the path to liberation and enlightenment and is expected to be extended to Ngoa Van, where Buddha Emperor Tran Nhan Tong entered nirvana.

Architectural Trends In a conversation with a female architect, she is the author of many drawings of houses and apartments filled with trees in many cities, I asked her if she had a common denominator of the personality of homeowners. are not. This female architect said that the vast majority of her clients are highly educated people who have an artist’s soul and love nature and plants. They are willing to narrow the space of the kitchen, bedroom, living room, to make room for natural space: skylights, rockeries, green areas… There are new 4-hour houses built new. divided into 2 floors, in the middle of the house where mango trees and milkweed trees have been planted for a long time and best of all, the architect has kept the status quo. Sitting in the house reading a book, drinking a cup of coffee under the tree, but feeling like sitting in the garden. The green space in the house creates a sense of relaxation for the people living in it Photo: DINH THU HIEN – CAM NHUNG Of course, implementing the difficult problem of designing a house so that it is beautiful and useful, that is the talent of the architect. There are green areas in the house after a period of operation that cannot be “fed”, because of lack of sunshine, must gradually be replaced with green patches of artificial grass. But that’s how life works. Must go to come. If you don’t dare to do anything, this life is too safe and boring. I once visited my sister’s house in District 7 (HCMC), looking at the small landscape of the aquarium and aquatic plants right in the living room on the ground floor, it was so beautiful, everyone who came to was captivated and admired forever. . It takes a lot of effort for the owner to maintain such beauty and comfort. Love enough, nature will innocently step in Many homeowners of green houses have really found pleasure and relaxation in taking care of trees, as a way of life balance. After a full day and a busy working week, many large families gather and divide the work to best preserve the green areas, as a concept of love and care for each other in a beautiful living space. Nowadays, you want to have green plants in your bedroom, office, kitchen… it’s also easy to do. Many varieties of plants suitable for growing indoors are for sale, easy to find and buy. The house has a large area, the owner can grow many trees. If space is limited, narrow, people can grow in small pots, put on the table, on the bed … Nature enters our homes in so many different ways. The water plant grown in a small glass bottle placed on the washbasin or bathroom shelf is also enough to add a little joy to waking up every morning. The space on the balcony is also wide enough to plant a few clusters of roses in pots, taken care of so that the flowers are regular and “fat” as desired. Potatoes that are cut in half to be placed in a glass bowl also sprouted and placed on a cute decorative kitchen shelf. A little grain of rice sprinkled in a small hand-held ceramic pot is placed on the desk, and the dining table feels warm. It’s as simple as that, but it doesn’t need to be expensive. Only when there is enough love, nature will spontaneously step into your home. Green space on the balcony Photo: DINH THU HIEN – CAM NHUAN Recently, a colleague took a photo to show off the dewdrop vines and bougainvillea plants planted on the balcony of the attic. In the middle of the golden sunshine of Ho Chi Minh City, the dew green color, the brilliant red color of bougainvillea make his attic light up, extremely beautiful. Living in that scene, young people’s minds must also be equipped with optimism and joy to continue with their daily lives in this urban city. People always want to be close to nature Some people think that only the rich, who have enough conditions, can create their own green space in the house. As for those who have a material life that lacks many things, they only focus on making a living, but have little energy to think about taking care of trees. Agree that when the material life gets better, people easily focus on improving their spiritual life. But people like to live close to nature. Ever since ancient times, when leaving the village to go to the city, the houses in the streets of our grandparents have always been filled with green, not only by the fruit trees planted in the yard but also by the ornamental plants: The birth tree is bent like the dragon and the phoenix. On New Year’s Day, you must bring apricot trees, kumquat trees … into the living room to enjoy. There is no need to wait until the money is full, the love of nature is full, then the hobby and the appreciation for trees and nature appear!
