Thiền viện trúc lâm chân nguyên- Monkey Pagoda.

Hi guys! Do you have anything new today? If you are struggling with stress, schedule yourself a few hours to go to new places to recharge. I am sure you will improve both mentally and physically if you give yourself the space to rest and forget about work for a while.

Like you, I am also sometimes quite frustrated when I sit on the computer forever or sit in the office. Sometimes staying in the same place will also make the body tired easily, get some vitamin D from the sun, take a few sips of fresh air, and have a few hours to forget the mess of work, and money is a medium therapy. Cheap and effective for me.

I took my children to a temple called Thien Vien Truc Lam Chan Nguyen. Address in Phuoc Hai town, Dat Do, Ba Ria Vung Tau province. Actually, we didn't know about this temple before doing the motorbike tour. We were attracted by the pagoda's stone stele along the highway, and we saw many motorbikes going that way. When I went inside, I heard from the visitors that I knew it was a famous cultural tourist destination in the Dat Do area. And when I saw people selling fruits such as jackfruit and bananas in front of the temple gate, I knew from them that there were a lot of monkeys living there and the temple was also known as Monkey Temple.

The temple has been built in the 1990s and so far this place has become the temple containing the most monkeys. But when I arrived it was around 12 noon, so I didn't see many monkeys in the temple yard. Before, when we first entered the gate, we bought about 1kg of jackfruit because we heard that Monkeys love to eat jackfruit. However, in the end, we did not see them crowded and we ate half of the jackfruit. hahaha...

The temple is covered with trees and behind is a large mountain range, inside the temple has classical architecture and a little bit of modernity, I like the porch and steps of the temple, the space too. Quiet and comfortable. I noticed that there are 2 large wind chimes hanging on the porch in front of the temple, every time the wind blows sideways, the bell will swing, it will make wonderful sounds like the soothing music that I often listen to, The space of the temple is planted with a lot of trees and flowers, creating a very cool and airy atmosphere, and behind is a large mountain range so the air is fresh.

Around the temple, there are many stone benches for pilgrims to sit comfortably and it is very cool because there are many trees. On weekends, the temple is very crowded, and there are many tour groups to visit. And I did not leave and sat there for about 2 hours to enjoy the peaceful feeling here that I felt.

Behind the pagoda, there are a few large stones with Chinese characters engraved, but I can only look at them and don't understand what it means. On a rock far away by the mountain, I saw a few monkeys walking on it, but before that, I heard the fruit seller say that every morning they often fight and have strong conflicts over territory, so I was also quite shy and did not brave enough to approach.

I wish you a good day. This post is 100% written by me, and the pictures are taken by me with my phone S8+.
