Located in the middle of a noisy, hurried Hanoi, we can easily find Ha Pagoda lying quietly hidden on a small street in Cau Giay, Hanoi. Ha Pagoda is one of the beautiful temple complex and attracts a lot of Buddhists and tourists to visit, especially young Ha Thanh people who come to beg for love or get back with their ex-lovers.
History of Ha Pagoda – The temple to pray for good luck
With the word Thanh Duc Tu, Ha Pagoda together with Dinh Boi Ha form a cluster of relics Dinh-Chua Ha. Previously, Ha pagoda belonged to Vong village (Dich Vong village), now it belongs to Chua Ha street (Dich Vong, Cau Giay, Hanoi).
According to an old legend, Hanoi pagoda was built by a wealthy ceramicist family from Boi Khe. To this day, the family mausoleum is still kept in the temple. To the right of this temple is Ha communal house worshiping two tutelary emperors, Trieu Chi Thanh and Chu Ly, generals of Trieu Viet Vuong. This temple is made entirely of precious wood. Over the years, Ha pagoda has been restored, repaired and embellished many times with an increasingly large and beautiful stature until today.
I don’t know since when, Ha Thanh people have considered this temple as a place to pray for luck, although Ha Pagoda is not a place to worship Ong To Mrs. If in other temples, most of them are quite old people who come to make pilgrimage, in Ha pagoda, the most crowded are young people, young men and women coming here to pray for their fate. Unmarried boys, unmarried girls coming to the ceremony to ask for a half. Couples who love each other also come to join hands to pray for a smooth relationship and a hundred years of happiness.
Interestingly, this temple is not associated with any legend about the love of the couple. What attracts people to still come here to pray for fate as a habit is because people often tell each other that this temple is very spiritual. One tells the other, with specific examples and demonstrations of inspiration when praying in this place.
Along the street to Ha Pagoda, only roses are sold, a flower symbolizing love. The souvenir shops around this temple area also sell a lot of rings in pairs, in pairs. At the beginning of the new year, going to temples and pagodas, in addition to praying for peace and fortune, people also pray for a peaceful and happy married life, for everlasting love.

After completing the vows: Observe that 2 thirds of the incense sticks are burned, they will turn into gold coins. When returning home, that same day, arrange a time (daytime, or evening, or night) to recite the mantra of the Medicine Master lapis lazuli Buddha.
The old Namo silver punished the emperor, the pedestal of the commune was robbed of the pedigree, the bowl of lama, the bowl of the barbarian, the dattha list the da Gia, the a la singing the emperor, the tam ostrich tam powder da Gia. Damn it. pedestal pedestal, pedestal, pedestal, pedestal, pedestal, pedestal, sa ha.
Note that when reciting this mantra, you should recite it over and over again depending on the time allowed. When reciting should be serious, whispering in a whisper that only you can hear, the people next to you can’t hear it, don’t say out loud the thoughts of reciting the mantra for others to hear.
Ha Pagoda is not only a place to keep a traditional and ancient beauty of Vietnam, but also a place to hide the historical values of the nation. Anyone who has come here once to burn incense and ask for blessings has a belief in the inspiration for their wishes.
