History & significance

A Buddhist pagoda in Tây Hồ District, Hanoi, first founded under Emperor Lý Nam Đế between 544 and 548, moved to its present site in 1615 and heavily repaired in 1815. Beside its Buddhist halls it holds shrines to the three Mother Goddesses of Vietnamese tradition, and a Bodhi sapling from Bodh Gaya was planted there in 1959.
