Vinh Lac Pagoda (Bao Sat Linh Tu)

Vinh Lac Pagoda (whose Sino-Vietnamese name is Bao Sat Linh Tu) is a peaceful ancient temple located in Vinh Lac Village, Phuc Son Commune, Hanoi City. Nestled amid the rustic countryside characteristic of the Northern Delta, the pagoda is not only a place of worship for Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and deities according to Vietnamese folk beliefs, but also the "heart" of the spiritual life and cultural activities of local people. Traditional Buddhist ceremonies such as Vesak, Vu Lan, and observance days, the full moon, and the first day of the lunar month are regularly held here, bringing together practice groups and Buddhists from neighboring pagodas to study and pray for peace for their families and homeland. Over time, the pagoda has preserved its solemn and tranquil atmosphere intact and has become an indispensable spiritual symbol, bonding the neighborly ties of the land of Vinh Lac.

The pagoda was ranked as a provincial-level relic by Ha Tay Province under Decision No. 167/QD-UBND dated February 25, 2000.
