012. Historical, cultural, and revolutionary values
Worship: The pagoda worships Buddha according to the Mahayana tradition. The Buddha statue system at the pagoda includes the sets of statues: Buddhas of the Three Times, Amitabha, Thousand-Hand Thousand-Eye Guanyin, Jade Emperor, Nam Tao, Bac Dau, and the Nine Dragons throne.
Historical events:
The pagoda was an important revolutionary base during the pre-uprising period of 1945 and the resistance war against the French.
This was a place where senior Party leaders such as Hoang Quoc Viet (Secretary of the Bac Ky Regional Party Committee) came to operate, organized many important meetings, and opened a counter-terrorism cadre training class in July 1942.
In the pagoda's Upper Hall, traces of a secret tunnel where revolutionary cadres once hid are still preserved.
