Ha Pagoda is located on Chua Ha street, Dich Vong ward (Hanoi), and has long become a familiar cultural and religious address for the people of the Capital.
Not only is it a place of worship, the pagoda is also chosen by many people when they want to find balance in their love life, sending hope for love and happiness.
The pagoda grounds are spacious with semi-circular lakes, banyan trees, ancient banyan trees and stone steles bearing the mark of time, creating a space that is both contemplative and poetic. It is the cultural and long-standing tradition that has attracted many people to visit and worship here.
In folklore, Ha Pagoda is often mentioned through the saying "Go to Ha Pagoda, go one and return two", as a symbolic way of saying about the desire to find a companion in life. Many people come here not only with the expectation of meeting a suitable person but also hoping to maintain lasting emotional relationships.
Recorded in a early summer afternoon, the number of people entering and leaving the pagoda was quite large. In the solemn space, many young people came to visit, sightsee and seek spiritual relaxation.
Mr. Ngo Ngoc Minh (24 years old, office worker in Hanoi) shared: "I came here with you. What I feel most clearly is peace, as if my emotions have been rearranged.
Not only attracting young people, Ha Pagoda is also a familiar destination for many middle-aged and elderly people. For them, going to the pagoda is not only associated with the desire for affection for children and grandchildren but also an opportunity to find relaxation and balance in life.
Ms. Le Thi Hanh (58 years old, Dong Da ward, Hanoi) said that every time she comes here, she feels lighter after daily busyness.
I often go to the pagoda as a habit to find peace and pray for good things for my family," Ms. Hanh said.
Amidst the increasingly busy pace of urban life, Ha Pagoda has become a space for many people to come and rest their spirits.
Although each person has a different view of matchmaking, it is undeniable that this place brings a feeling of relaxation, contributing to balancing emotions in life.
