Because of many Buddha’s affairs, in response to\r\nthe invitation of Organizers, on September 9th, 2014 (lunar August 16th,\r\nHorse Year), the Senior Venerable Thich Chan Tinh – the Abbot of Hoang Phap\r\npagoda - instructed Junior Vice-Abbot Thich Tam Dao and the monks arrived to\r\nPhap Minh pagoda at Giong Lon hamlet, My Hanh commune, Duc Hoa district, Long\r\nAn province to offer flowers, give presents and support the major inauguration\r\nceremony

It is known that Pham Minh pagoda was built by the Most\r\nVenerable Thich Liểu Lac, life name Truong Van Trinh (1878-1937) who\r\ntransferred a pagoda from his house in 1933. Over many historical events, the\r\npagoda was seriously ruined. For repaying their ancestors’ merit, Truong\r\ndescendants together vowed to restore Phap Minh pagoda which is made of wood as\r\nits former architecture. This construction has now finished. The solemn,\r\nmajestic pagoda is ready to support the spiritual need and dharma cultivation\r\nfor local Buddhists.
