The temple was built by Emperor Lý Thái Tông, who ruled from 1028 to 1054. According to the court records, Lý Thái Tông was childless and dreamt that he met the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, who handed him a baby son while seated on a lotus
flower. Lý Thái Tông then married a peasant girl that he had met and
she bore him a son. The emperor constructed the temple in gratitude for
this in 1049,
having been told by a monk named Thiền Tuệ to build the temple, by
erecting a pillar in the middle of a lotus pond, similar to the one he
saw in the dream.
