Chairman of steelmaker Hoa Sen takes refuge in Buddhist ‘jewels’

Giant steelmaker Hoa Sen Group’s chairman Le Phuoc Vu, has deepened his Buddhist faith, undergoing a ceremony to take refuge in the Three Jewels.

The Three Jewels of Buddhism are the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha – the Enlightened One, the teachings of the Enlightened One and monastic order that practices the teachings.

The ceremony is an important step for one who accepts Buddhism, according to the news portal of the Buddhist Sangha of Vietnam. It does not require a person to become a renunciate and stay full time in a pagoda.

However, it was not clear what the implication of this ceremony would be for Hoa Sen Group’s business.
