Speaking at the ceremony, Venerable Thich Kien Nguyet, head of the monastery, called for efforts from authorities, people and Buddhist followers for the second phase of the project, thus soon turning the monastery into a spiritual tourism destination of Bac Giang.

Since then, the monastery welcomed thousands of visitors, especially during Vesak and Vu Lan festivals, and other holidays.
Together with other cultural, sport and spiritual tourism sites in Yen Dung district, the Truc Lam-Phuong Hoang Zen Monastery is expected to significantly contribute to preserving and promoting traditional values and driving the economic, cultural and social development of the district.
