Van Hanh Zen Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Da Lat, Vietnam.
Van Hanh Zen Monastery spans across 2 hectares of land, featuring a 24-meter golden statue of Sakyamuni Buddha and extensive meditation areas.
The monastery evolved from the Van Hanh Assembly, with construction beginning in 1980 under Buddhist monk Thich Vien Thanh's supervision.
Nine dragons spraying water surround the central Buddha statue in the Main Hall, displaying Vietnamese Buddhist architectural elements and religious symbolism.
Visitors can access the Main Hall through two paths: a side gate with 61 steps or a lakeside entrance requiring climbing 222 steps.
The monastery contains statues of Bodhisattva Maitreya, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Bodhidharma within its meditation spaces and ceremonial halls.
