In Vietnam, when we start something new, like a business or school year, we often perform a ceremony called làm lễ.
This involves preparing offerings such as fresh fruit, roast pork, and burning incense.
These items are placed at the altar of Thần Tài, the wealth god, to seek blessings for prosperity.
We carefully select an auspicious date from the lunar calendar for this ritual.
This blend of spirituality and practicality reflects our belief in luck combined with hard work.
It’s a tradition that many entrepreneurs and students follow to ensure a successful start.
