Burning Hanoi Incense Jade Meditation Prayer Prayers Stick Sticks Vietnam Worship Ngoc
EDITORS COMMENTS
Den Ngoc Son, or the Temple of the Jade Mountain, is a historic Buddhist temple complex located on a small island in Hoan Kiem Lake in the heart of Hanoi, Vietnam. This image showcases the serene ambiance of the temple as incense sticks are burning, releasing their fragrant smoke into the air. The temple, built in 1805, is a significant cultural and religious site for the Vietnamese community, attracting both locals and tourists alike. The incense sticks, a common element in Vietnamese Buddhist practices, are used for meditation, prayer, and worship. The smoke from the burning sticks is believed to carry the prayers and offerings up to the heavens, connecting the worshiper with the divine. The peaceful atmosphere of the temple is further enhanced by the gentle ripples of the lake reflecting the temple's intricate architecture and the tranquil surroundings. Den Ngoc Son has a rich history, having been damaged and rebuilt several times throughout the centuries. The temple's iconic bridge, The Tortoise Lake Bridge, is a popular tourist attraction and is said to symbolize the connection between heaven and earth. The temple complex is a testament to the deep-rooted cultural and religious traditions of Vietnam and is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the vibrant city of Hanoi. This evocative photograph captures the essence of Den Ngoc Son, transporting the viewer to a place of tranquility and spiritual reflection. The burning incense sticks serve as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the importance of taking a moment to connect with something greater than ourselves.
