Pagode Vinh Nghiem, Main temple

Vinh Nghiem Pagoda (Ho Chi Minh City) was constructed between 1964 and 1971 following the design of architect Nguyen Ba Lang and engineer Bui Van To. Vinh Nghiem Temple is a rather recent temple. It was completed by the contributions of the Buddhists of the Truc Lam zen sect who came from Bac Giang province. The name of the temple comes from an 11th century pagoda in this province.
