The stele was engraved in December of the year Tri Binh Long Ung (1209) and re-engraved later, probably at the end of the 18th century, placed at Bao An pagoda. The stele was mentioned and published by many researchers in Ly Tran Poetry (Social Sciences Publishing House, H.1977) and Ly Dynasty Epitaph (VNU Publishing House, H.2010). This is the oldest stele in Vinh Phuc and one of the 18 Ly Dynasty stelae remaining in our country today. The stele is 1.4m high, 0.85m wide, 0.14m thick, placed on the back of a smooth-shelled stone turtle, its head protruding, its four-clawed feet spread out in all four directions.

It is said that this is one of the oldest evidences of Nom script found in Vietnam. Before this stele, traces of a few Nom characters were only found in two places: on the bell of Van Ban pagoda, Hai Phong (year 1076), and in an inscription at the pagoda of Huong Non commune, Tam Nong district, Phu Tho province.

From ancient times until now, tourists and Buddhists from near and far, when coming to Ha Tien Pagoda, not only burn incense and pray to Buddha but also sincerely worship before the Holy Mother to pray for peace in the country and people and a peaceful life. According to ancient books, the pagoda is located in the "mountain and water" position, on both sides there are large mounds of earth shaped like dragons and white tigers. When the country was invaded by foreign invaders, Mrs. Lang Thi Tieu, on her way to join forces with King Hung Vuong 7, saw a strange situation, so she stopped to recruit soldiers.

In the past, during the drought season, all the other wells dried up, but the old well still had water, so people in the village had to go to the old well to draw water. The well of Ha Tien Pagoda is "clear and blue, with magical water veins", so the ancients still compared it: "No matter who is as ugly as a ghost/ Drinking the water of Ha Pagoda is as beautiful as a fairy". Every year, on major holidays, visitors from all over come to the temple to worship Buddha and ask for water from Ngoc well, bring it back to burn incense and drink gradually, especially in the early days of spring. People believe that having ancient well water to use during Tet will bring good luck.
