Rituales que nos dan emoción, con la ingenuidad de “ser parte” de algo más allá, a pesar de ser un simple papel cortado con una velita y un vendedor lucrando del turista embobado por la belleza de una tierra ajena.

View on the Perfume river from Thien Mu Pagoda

Huế VN - Thiên Mụ Pagoda 10 by Daniel Mennerich Thiên Mụ Pagoda (Chùa Thiên Mụ; also called Linh Mụ Pagoda) is a historic temple in the city of Huế in Vietnam. Its pagoda has seven stories and is the tallest religious building in Vietnam. The temple is often the subject of folk rhymes and ca dao about Huế, such is its iconic status and association with the city. It is regarded as the unofficial symbol of the former imperial capital. The pagoda sits on the Hà Khê hill, in the ward of Hương Long in Huế. It is around 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the Citadel of Huế constructed by the Nguyễn Dynasty and sits on the northern bank of the Perfume River. Built in 1601 on the order of the first Nguyễn lords, Nguyễn Hoàng, who at that time was the governor of Thuận Hóa (now known as Huế). The Nguyen Lords were in name, officials of the ruling Lê Dynasty in Hanoi, but was the de facto independent ruler of central Vietnam. According to the royal annals, Hoang while touring the vicinity, was told of the local legend in which an old lady, known as Thiên Mụ (literally "celestial lady"), dressed in red and blue sat at the site, rubbing her cheeks. She foretold that a lord would come and erect a pagoda on the hill to pray for the country's prosperity. She then vanished after making her prophecy. Upon hearing this, Hoang ordered the construction of a temple at the site, thus the beginning of Thiên Mụ Tự. https://flic.kr/p/27TyFb8

Reflections are sometimes blurry images of the truth. Only you can truly cut through the noise and forge an opinion of your own reality. Be bold and challenge perspectives from other people with your own, you'll be suprised how they often only look at what's on the surface without thinking to look upwards and discover your true colors. ________________________________________ The tick stone walls of the #hue citadel towering above the #perfumeriver protected the royal capital of #vietnam 's Nguyen Dynasty for more than a century.
