Hoằng Phúc pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Mỹ Thủy, Vietnam
The temple stands in Thuan Trach Village within the Mỹ Thủy Commune of Lệ Thủy District, featuring traditional Vietnamese Buddhist architecture and design elements.
Originally named Tri Kien Temple in 1301 during Emperor Trần Nhân Tông's visit, it underwent name changes to Kính Thiên Tự in 1716 and Hoằng Phúc in 1821.
The pagoda maintains Buddhist traditions through regular ceremonies, housing ancient artifacts including an 80-kilogram bell and traditional Buddha statues from its early periods.
Located 500 kilometers south of Hanoi and 50 kilometers south of Dong Hoi, the temple welcomes visitors interested in exploring Vietnamese Buddhist heritage.
The 2016 reconstruction brought international recognition when Buddhist representatives from Myanmar presented sacred Buddha's śarīra from Shwedagon Pagoda during the inauguration ceremony.
