But Thap Pagoda, courtesy name Ninh Phuc Tu, is one of the most beautiful of its kind in the Red River Delta region and home to four groups of national treasures that have been kept almost intact.
The four groups of national treasures at But Thap Pagoda, namely the thousand-hands and thousand-eyes Avalokitesvara statue, the statues of the Buddhas of the three times, the nine-story lotus tower, and the altar, were all made from wood in the 17th century.
Nearly 500 art works, books and documents as well as tools featuring Buddhist cultural values are on display at an exhibition which opened at Pho Quang Pagoda, Ho Chi Minh City on May13.
