Behind pagoda gate
HNN.VN - When people think of Hue, many envision a serene land “steeped” in Buddhism with hundreds of temples and pagodas. Amid the bustling rhythm of a modern Hue, life behind each pagoda gate is far from dull, but it is a refined embodiment of spiritual beauty that deeply enriches the inner world of many residents of the Ancient Capital. Here, every scene, every space, every presence expressed a quiet, profound stillness, like a sutra in motion.
Within that peaceful, sacred atmosphere, the presence of young novice monks in brown or gray robes evokes a sense of gentle, pure emotion filled with faith.
Leaning gently toward the realm of tranquility, Hue Today Weekly would like to introduce a collection of serene images from Thien Mu Pagoda, a historic temple that stands as a symbol of Hue’s culture, marked by its quiet elegance, ancient charm, and layers upon layers of memories.
