Initially, the Zen master studied at Vinh Quang Pagoda, near Truong Binh market, and was given the Buddhist name Vien Ngo by his master. At that time, the road to Truong Binh market was densely covered with grass and trees, muddy and difficult to walk on, and tigers, leopards, and wild animals often came out to harm people. Seeing this, Zen Master Vien Ngo vowed to cut down trees alone and build a road from Truong Binh market to Tich Duc village and Hoa Thuan ward 250 meters long. In the 7th year of Gia Long's reign (1808), monk Vien Ngo came to Thanh Ba village (now in My Loc commune) to build Lan Nha pagoda - which is the current Ton Thanh pagoda. According to Dai Nam Nhat Thong Chi, this is a famous "magnificent, golden pillared" pagoda in ancient Gia Dinh. The Zen master also cast a bronze statue of Bodhisattva Bodhisattva to worship in the temple. Legend has it that when the Bodhisattva statue was missing for the first time, Zen master Vien Ngo cut off one of his fingers and put it in a pot of bronze water so that the statue could be perfect the next time it was cast. He is not only a filial son but also a person full of compassion and charity. When his father was sick, the Zen master swore in front of the Buddha platform that he would "sit" for 10 years to prolong his father's life. In the first year of Minh Mang (1820), in an area with a smallpox epidemic, monk Vien Ngo vowed to "recite sutras and recite Buddha's name and spend the rest of his life in exile" to pray for the people to escape the disaster. In the 5th year of Thieu Tri (1845), he found that he had been a monk for 40 years but had not yet attained enlightenment, so he passed away after 49 days. His Dharma body was buried by the monks in the stupa west of Ton Thanh pagoda.

Sixteen years after Zen Master Vien Ngo passed away, Ton Thanh Pagoda entered the country's history with the tribute to the martyr Can Giuoc by blind poet Nguyen Dinh Chieu. During the three years 1859-1861, patriotic scholar Nguyen Dinh Chieu returned to Thanh Ba, using Ton Thanh pagoda as a place to teach, write poetry and make medicine. During the raid on Tay Duong post at Truong Binh market on the full moon night of the 11th month of Tan Du year, one of the three wings of the insurgent army set out from Ton Thanh pagoda, burned the teaching house, and beheaded the second mandarin of Phu Lang Sa. Touched by the altruistic hearts of the "hamlet villagers", poet Nguyen Dinh Chieu composed a famous tribute to the martyr Can Giuoc at Ton Thanh Pagoda. History has preserved the name of this pagoda of Long An through immortal sentences: ''Ton Thanh Pagoda freezes five years, the red heart leaves behind the full moonlight. Don Lang sa for a moment to pay back his anger and regret, his fate drifted with the flowing water''.

The US Embassy relics, also known as the "White House of the East", are the origin of sinister military and political plots aimed at long-term annexation of Vietnam. The relic site is a 5-storey building built Built in modern architecture, located at the corner of Mac Dinh Chi - Le Duan Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, on a plot of land nearly 5,000 square meters. Previously, the US embassy was located at 39 Ham Nghi Street. At around 10:00 a.m. on March 30, 1963, the US embassy on Ham Nghi Street was hit with explosives by the F21 Commando team, collapsing three floors: 1, 2, 3, so the US decided to rebuild it. Construction began on the building in 1965, most of the materials and construction machinery were transported from the US, under the control of American engineers. According to the design, the building is surrounded by 7,800 Taredo stones that can withstand mines and artillery shells. The main door is equipped with thick steel, the other doors are blocked by a special thick bulletproof layer. All doors use automatic systems, including iron doors blocking the way to the upper floors. Inside the building there are 140 rooms with 200 staff serving day and night. In addition, next to the building is also built an additional row of houses called the "Norodom" area exclusively for C.I.A. employees. When inaugurated, the building had only 3 floors. At the end of 1966, two more floors and a terrace were built to serve as a landing place for helicopters. Surrounding the building is a 3m high wall, at both ends of the wall close to Le Duan Street, 2 high blockhouses are built, guarded day and night. The Embassy was completed in September 1967 with a defense system such as a fortress with 60 guards, a bomb shelter, and a radar screen system to control the facade. Immediately after the building was completed, on September 24, 1967, thousands of students flocked to the gate of the US Embassy to fight for "America to stop bombing the North", "America to go home" and issued a notice denouncing the US for "trampling and seriously violating the right to self-determination of the Southern people". But the outstanding event that happened at the US Embassy was the battle of the City Rangers during the General Offensive and Uprising in the Spring of 1968. The target of attacking the US Embassy was added on January 24, 1968 by Ngo Thanh. Van is in charge of general affairs.

Another equally humiliating event for the US Embassy was the chaotic escape that occurred on April 29 and 30, 1975 by the US and its accomplices. Faced with the rapid attack of the Vietnamese army and people in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, over 1,000 Americans and more than 5,000 pro-American Vietnamese jostled, pushed, and kicked each other to compete for a place on the terrace of the building. building to be rescued by helicopter. This relic was granted a certificate of recognition by the Ministry of Culture on June 25, 1976. Currently, the US Embassy building has been demolished and a new consulate in Ho Chi Minh City has been built, but next to it is a memorial stele forever remembering the achievements of the special forces soldiers who died in the battle. .

The pagoda is built on a high hill, with luxuriant trees, windy on all four sides, beautiful scenery, quiet, full of solitude, a place of meditation. In the past, this area was called Tieu Dao Mountain, and is commonly called Cam Forest, perhaps that's why the pagoda is famous as Cam Pagoda.

To remember his merits, like many other pagodas in the area, people built a shrine to Princess Hung Nuong in the pagoda. Having gone through the ups and downs of thousands of years of history, Bao An Pagoda is still at the old campus but has had many changes. Ancient architectural buildings such as the front hall, incense burner, upper palace, ancestral house, Hung Nuong princess shrine and mother shrine were demolished due to deterioration. Currently, the pagoda has been renovated and rebuilt on a large scale, with reinforced concrete architecture and tiled roof. The pagoda also preserves valuable relics and antiques such as: Dharma statues, altars, bronze bells, and stone stele. Among them, the most typical is the stone stele "Bao An Zen Tu Bi Bi Ky" (inscription of Bao An Pagoda's stele). Up to now, according to review, survey and statistical data, this is the only Ly Dynasty stele remaining in the province. 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.

Based on this stele, it can be seen that the construction and restoration of pagodas took place on Vinh Phuc land since the Ly dynasty. The construction and restoration of pagodas was encouraged, not prohibited, by the royal court and assigned to the mandarins and aristocracy to preside and organize. The construction and restoration of pagodas is also considered an important event in the spiritual life of the people, attracting the whole region and even the whole country to join in the merit. This proves that during the peak development of Buddhism during the Ly Dynasty, Vinh Phuc area was also a popular center of this religion.
