The article praises Yen Tu as a "mysterious spiritual place" hidden in the mist, where many legends and spiritual stories are kept. This place is associated with the monastic life of King Tran Nhan Tong, the wise king who gave up the throne to pursue the path of Buddhism, establishing the Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen sect in the 13th century, marking the birth of Vietnamese Zen.
To this day, the story of giving up the throne, focusing on cultivating religion and building a life, harmoniously integrating Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism into a Zen sect still inspires pilgrims and tourists from all over the world in their search for the meaning of happiness.
The sacred Yen Tu mountain appeared impressively in the French newspaper
The article in Le Figaro newspaper impressively described the elegant sound of bells and gongs at Dong Pagoda on the top of Yen Tu mountain. The sound is likened to "cool water that washes the soul of worries" and helps people "listen deep into their consciousness". It can be said that this is an extremely delicate and accurate description of the power of sacred sounds at the Buddha's door.
Temple bells have long been considered a symbol of purity, enlightenment and peace of mind. When people hear the bells ringing in the quiet mountains and forests, the worries and troubles of daily life seem to disappear, giving way to serenity and tranquility. That is the reason why many people go to temples to pray, purify their souls and find peace for themselves.
