Linh Ung Bai But Pagoda

Linh Ung Bai But Pagoda

Perched high above Đà Nẵng on a 630-meter promontory, Linh Ứng Bãi Bụt Pagoda offers a harmonious blend of ancient tradition and contemporary devotion. Though completed between 2004 and 2010, the pagoda’s legacy is deeply rooted in a centuries-old legend from the reign of Emperor Minh Mạng (1820-1840). According to local lore, fishermen once discovered a statue of the Goddess of Mercy washed ashore, which led to the construction of a small temple that blessed the region with peace and prosperity. This sacred site, known as Bãi Bụt or "Buddha Beach," withstood much throughout history, including near destruction during the Second Indochina War. Yet, the modern pagoda stands resilient, honoring the spirit of the past while drawing pilgrims and visitors from across Vietnam.

As visitors enter Linh Ứng Pagoda, they are greeted by a spacious courtyard lined with 18 statues of Arhats, enlightened beings who have transcended the Eightfold Path. Amidst this tranquil assembly of statues, the tallest statue of the Goddess of Mercy in Vietnam captures the eye. Towering at an astonishing 69.7 meters, the statue rises from a 35-meter-wide lotus-shaped platform, its interior featuring 17 storeys, each housing 21 uniquely crafted Buddha statues, symbolizing the boundless variety of human experience and spiritual awakening.

Overlooking the vast expanse of the sea, this grand statue is seen as a guardian by local fishermen, offering protection and blessings of prosperity. Embodying a fusion of ancient belief and modern spiritual devotion, Linh Ứng Bãi Bụt Pagoda stands as a symbol of peace, inviting all who visit to find solace in its sacred grounds, under the watchful gaze of the Goddess of Mercy.
