Along with the development of Buddhism in Da Nang city, the Buddhist Family in the city – a form of Buddhist association as established elsewhere in the country - has created its own history of around 60 years.
For the past years, the city Buddhist Family have actively conducted many practical social and charitable activities, including the annual program of support for students taking university entrance exams, charity visits to difficult or flooded localities, sending gifts to poor Buddhist youth on Tet and traditional festivals, ect.
