Legend has it that over 7 centuries ago, Tran Nhan Tong, the third emperor of the Tran dynasty in Vietnam, built Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen Sect as a haven for studying Buddhism and Confucian and Taoist philosophy. This place then has become a major influence on the spiritual life of Vietnamese people for centuries.
