Thay Pagoda was originally Thien Phuc, located at the foot of Sai mountain, in the territory of Sai Son commune, Quoc Oai district, Hanoi city. It is 25km southwest of Hanoi city center. The pagoda was built during the reign of King Ly Nhan Tong to save the mark of a monk, Zen Master Tu Dao Hanh.
Thay Pagoda is an architectural complex including: Ha Pagoda, Trung Pagoda, Thuong Pagoda, Bell Tower, Drum Pavilion, Cao Pagoda, Mot Mai Pagoda, Long Dau Pagoda, Thuong Temple, Quan Thanh Temple, Van Xuong Temple…
These architectural works are located in an extremely sacred and favorable land that the ancients called dragon jaws. In the past, Lord Trinh Can sketched a short essay on the cliff of Thay Pagoda with the implication that “Thay pagoda is a pearl emerging from the rocks, radiant with four seasons of spring”.
