Title:

Quan Su Pagoda, Hanoi

Quan Su, the "Ambassadors' Pagoda" was built in the 1400s for diplomats from the neighboring Buddhist countries of Laos and Siam (now Thailand). It is the most active Buddhist center in Hanoi. Here a man prays for the soul of a relative whose picture joins others on the communal altar.
