“Did those dates say 1986 and 1997?” a curious voice whispers. Right here, before the serene facade of Chùa Long Nguyên Pagoda, stories of resilience and faith intertwine. Founded in 1965 by the compassionate Cư sĩ Phạm Thận, Chùa Long Nguyên became a beacon of hope during turbulent times. Imagine seeking solace within its walls during those pivotal years, the energy of transformation palpable as renovations took place in 1986 and again in 1997, a testament to the enduring spirit of the Buddhist teachings. Each brick seems to echo the legacy of its caretakers–the venerable NT Thích Đạt Thanh, the guiding presence of ĐĐ Thích Huệ Hiển, and the wisdom of ĐĐ Thích Bửu. Their presence lingers alongside the memory of ĐĐ Thích Giác Mẫn and the serene aura of NS Thích nữ Tinh Tâm. Let these dates – 1986, 1997 – serve as a reminder: even amidst change, the essence of Chùa Long Nguyên prevails, a tranquil space for reflection and renewal.
