Ấn Quang Pagoda
Ấn Quang Pagoda, or Chùa Ấn Quang, is a Buddhist temple in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It sits at 243 Đ. Sư Vạn Hạnh, Ward 9, District 10, and its name means “Pagoda of the Light of the Dharma Seal.”
The pagoda is a key meeting place for Vietnamese Buddhist leaders and houses the Institute for Dharma Propagation. Since its founding in 1948, its buildings have grown and now include a library and a publishing house. It has played a central role in the development of modern Vietnamese Buddhism, serving as the home of the School of Buddhist Studies and the headquarters of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam (UBCV). Thousands of monks and nuns were trained there.
Today, Ấn Quang Pagoda is the headquarters of the Ho Chi Minh City Buddhist Sangha and is sometimes seen as a place where the underground UBCV and the government could come together for reconciliation.
