Bao An Pagoda

Bao An Pagoda, also known as Cu Son Trung Pagoda, is one of the two pagodas in Son Trung Village, Quoc Oai Commune, Hanoi City.

The name Bao An carries profound meaning regarding the moral principle of remembering the source when drinking water, reminding people to be grateful for the merits of ancestors, parents, predecessors, and those who contributed to their homeland and country. This is also the core ethical value that the pagoda always aims for in its Buddhist propagation and traditional education activities.

Through many generations, the pagoda has become a spiritual support for the local people. With its serene space, harmonious landscape, and architecture imbued with traditional Vietnamese pagoda features, it is a place for Buddhists and pilgrims from afar to come to worship, pay homage to the Buddha, pray for peace, and cultivate goodness.

Every year, on major Buddhist holidays such as Buddha's Birthday, the Vu Lan Festival of Filial Piety, and the beginning of the new spring, the pagoda welcomes a large number of local people and visitors who come to offer incense and worship the Buddha, contributing to preserving and promoting the nation's cultural identity.
