Trieu Am Tu (Ong Chin Pagoda) is located in Hoa Dan hamlet, Nhi My commune, Cao Lanh district, Dong Thap province. It is a pagoda following the Buu Son Ky Huong religion of Buddha Master Tay An - Doan Minh Huyen. The pagoda was first founded by Mr. Dang Van Ngoan (also known as Mr. Dao Ngoan) in the year Giap Dan (1854) during the 7th year of King Tu Duc's reign at Tra Bong canal, Nhi My village, Kien Phong district, Dinh province. Tuong (now Hoa Dan hamlet, Nhi My commune, Cao Lanh district, Dong Thap province). Mr. Dao Ngoan is a great disciple of the "twelve sages" of Buddha Master Tay An. He was born in the year of Canh Thin (the year of Minh Mang, 1820) in a virtuous family in Nhi My village, near Tra Bong canal. When he was over 20 years old, after diligently cultivating land to establish a field and garden so that his family could make a living, he asked his mother to let him leisurely find a quiet place to cultivate his mind and nurture his nature. With his mother's approval, he chose a plot of land in Ong Buong canal to build a thatched hermitage to meditate. Mr. Dao Ngoan studied Buddhism with Buddha and spread Buddha's Buu Son Ky Huong religion, guiding people to set up fields, reclaim land on the outskirts of Dong Thap Muoi and cure people's diseases. He directed his followers to recite Buddha's name and cultivate the Buddha's name, exploiting more than 500 square meters of land. Not long after that, the pagoda caught fire and burned down, followed by several Southern provinces being invaded by the French invaders. During the mutiny, Mr. Dao Ngoan and his followers had to leave the temple to seek refuge. In 1867, Mr. Ngoan returned to Tra Bong to gather followers to rebuild the old pagoda, continue to take medicine to treat people's illnesses and gathered a large number of followers to preach the teachings of the Four Graces, in which the grace of the country comes first. The country's situation is suffering from foreign invasion. Tra Bong Pagoda became a place where patriots gathered to discuss fighting the enemy. On the 19th day of the second lunar month, the year of the Tiger (1890), Mr. Dao Ngoan passed away at the age of 70. His mournful followers gathered together to bury him in accordance with Buddha's teachings. After Mr. Dao Ngoan passed away, the pagoda continued to be cared for by Nguyen Thi Hue (his third wife) and the pagoda. Mr. Dang Cong Hua (Chin Hua's son) was also taught the Dharma and healing methods by Mr. Ngoan and Mrs. Hue, so Tra Bong Pagoda still gathers a large number of followers. When Mr. Chin Hua replaced the abbot of the pagoda, he gave the pagoda a new name, Trieu Am Tu. In addition to the name Trieu Am pagoda that few people know, people still call this "Ong Chin Pagoda" because Mr. Chin's virtue and talent are no less than Mr. Dao Ngoan's. During the resistance war against America In 1965 - 1966, a secret cellar was built at the temple to house provincial and district officials. Every time there was an enemy raid, when they withdrew, the pagoda sounded three loud beeps to signal the cadres to take shelter in the cellar. This secret bunker was used very effectively until the day of liberation on April 30, 1975. From 1973 to April 30, 1975, Cao Lanh Town Party Committee returned to Tra Bong canal near the pagoda, the monks in The pagoda has just served as inter-commune liaison at Nhi My and protected commune officials.
