Take the path running behind Temple wrap, green mountains on the horns, Hai An Pagoda emerged with pale yellow walls and red curved dome roof. People around the area also known by the familiar two hours full of respect: Hang Pagoda - Nha trang. In the temple there is a deep cave on the mountain, the old people said that it was a "tiger grave." During the American War, the Korean military occupation was to san bit up the mountain road from the cave. In 1968, the chief amount of nuns came up a Buddhist shrine in the caves am, in the past two years, "the most cult" (each step of a bow) to maintain the Lotus Sutra formed a prayer house temple. It was built on the outside edge caves, and 1971 is completed.
This cave is still there, nestled inside the magnificent main hall, the two stores have set the "Extension Compassion - Corrections evil" defending, inside the cave air is different, muted, as long as hear a whisper roughness of the rough white stone senseless.

Especially wells in the temple. Wells located outside the front of the hut category, on a green rock. Old, that have been open for nuns tried many wells dug, but saline water should not be used as all the wells around the area for near estuaries. No surrender, vows nuns over the business, "Bach List Five" (in the title of Buddha, each time claiming the title of Buddha, spread a homage to a bow), to find sources for fresh water to the temple, as well as for People in Nha Trang Vietnam.

Then the other day, he pointed to the crowd ni workers drilling wells to get water locations: Right on the huge rocks. Initially, the well driller could not get this job, because they fear loss of financial cost that the temple would not be nothing but the determination of the nuns convince them, so they drill down green rock hard. Miraculously, the deep rock drilling more than ten meters, the strike met the cool fresh water and clear. Fresh water wells are found, the water flowing all year round, people turn around the clock to please the burden on portable tanks used since then, and people bowed reverently call it Buddha wells.
