｜Vietnam｜One Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi-A thousand-year-old Buddhist temple on a lotus pond

The "One Pillar Temple" was built in 1049 AD. It is famous for its unique shape. The entire temple is supported by only one stone pillar and stands in the center of a square lotus pond. Its appearance resembles a blooming lotus. There is no gorgeous decoration, but it is full of power. Just standing by the pond and looking at it, you can feel a sense of peace and purity. It is said that Emperor Ly Taejong dreamed that Guanyin Bodhisattva sat on a lotus platform and took him into his arms. Soon the queen gave birth to a prince. In order to thank the gods for their protection, he ordered the construction of this lotus-shaped Buddhist temple. Therefore, the One Pillar Temple has also become a faith center for praying for offspring and happiness, attracting countless people to visit and make wishes every year. Although the temple itself is not large, its existence is an indelible part of people's hearts. ✨Reminder The One Pillar Temple is a Buddhist holy place. It is recommended to dress solemnly and appropriately. Avoid wearing revealing or overly casual clothes to show respect for Buddhist beliefs. Keep quiet when entering the temple and respect the temple's regulations. 📍Address: P.
