Have you ever wondered about a temple born from compassion? The story of chúa Sư Nữ Bảo Quang in Da Nang begins in 1960. It was then that Sư bà Thích Nữ Đàm Minh founded this temple. She built it with a vision of peace and spiritual growth.
Chúa Sư Nữ stands at 48 Núi Thành street in Hải Châu district. Imagine this location in 1960. Da Nang was a very different place. Sư bà Thích Nữ Đàm Minh likely faced many challenges. Yet, she persevered creating a sanctuary.
Years later Ni trưởng Thích Nữ Diệu Cảnh took charge. She organized the temple’s renovation. She developed its activities further. These actions breathed new life into chúa Sư Nữ. In 2015 a great bell was cast. The casting took place on March 27th.
In 2024 Ni trưởng Thích Nữ Diệu Cảnh shared Tết gifts. She gave them to those in need. These included city workers and poor patients. These gifts worth over 100 million đồng. They went to Đà Nẵng’s environmental workers. They also went to patients at the Eye Hospital. Also villagers in Hòa Vang district received gifts.
Thích Nữ Diệu Cảnh explained the gifts’ meaning. She said the material value wasn’t much. Yet, they contained the nuns’ compassion. They also held the Buddhist followers’ sharing.
Imagine the smiles as these gifts were received. Consider the relief they provided. Trần Văn Nhựt thanked Ni trưởng and the nuns. He is the Vice Director of Hai Chau’s environmental company. He appreciated the Tet gifts for his workers. The workers keep the city clean. This is especially hard during the busy holiday.
Chúa Sư Nữ Bảo Quang continues to serve. It offers solace and support. It embodies the spirit of generosity. It stands as a beacon of hope. Remember this story. Think of the temple’s origins. Contemplate its ongoing mission as you stand here in front of Chúa Sư Nữ.
