About this audio guide
Báo Quốc Temple sits on Hue's Ham Long hill, founded in the seventeenth century by a monk from China. This guide follows a later abbot, Trí Thủ, who took charge in nineteen forty-two at thirty-three and forced through a controversial modernization of monastic education. Traditionalist monks who climbed the same stone steps behind him were not pleased. Listen for the story near the ancient well at the base of the hill, still known for its cold, sweet water.
