Speaking at the opening ceremony, Chairman of Uong Bi City People's Committee Pham Tuan Dat emphasized that Yen Tu is a sacred and blessed place of the nation, a place associated with the name and great career of King Tran Nhan Tong and his great contributions to the country through two victories over the invading Yuan-Mongol invaders.
After two glorious wars, when the country was at peace, he voluntarily left the throne to his son, King Tran Anh Tong, to focus on studying Buddhism. In 1299, King Tran Nhan Tong officially went to Yen Tu mountain to become a monk, taking the Buddhist name Dieu Ngu Giac Hoang, becoming the first Patriarch of the Truc Lam Zen sect. Therefore, Yen Tu is the cradle of the Truc Lam Zen sect and King Tran Nhan Tong is the Buddha of Vietnam.
