Phan Quốc

Phan Quốc, known as Kẻ Du Mục, is a Vietnamese traveler who recently visited India to explore significant Buddhist sites. In February, he returned to Varanasi, where he witnessed the poignant ritual of cremation along the Ganges River. His experiences included observing the continuous burning of bodies and the cultural significance of these ceremonies in Hinduism, which are believed to facilitate the soul's liberation from the cycle of rebirth. His reflections on the interplay of life and death, alongside the unique spiritual beliefs of the local people, have left a profound impact on his understanding of Hindu culture.
