 The Hoe Nhai temple in Hanoi, Vietnam currently possesses a unique statue from the 17th century: that of a Buddha sitting in lotus position on the back of the then-king Le Huy Tong.
When Le Huy Tong inherited the throne in 1675, he openly despised Buddhism and its followers, claiming it was a religion that advocated for and supported social parasites: monks, nuns and laypeople. As a result, he forbade the practice of Buddhism, dismantled the sangha and those who defied his order were handed the death penalty.

 Hidup ini adalah sebuah perlombaan,Hampir setiap saat kita menjadi yang terbaik. Luka ini selalu menemaniku, bahkan bisa diyakinkan selama umurku pasti tidak akan lupa karena bagiku itu masa terindah dan terburuk dalam masa SMA. Diriku dibesarkan dalam keadaan yang selalu berkompetitif yang selalu berlomba untuk jadi juara, ya ... atas kerajinan ini pun tidak sia-sia tiap tahun menduduki 5 besar tapi kali ini berbeda sekali, selama SMA 3 tahun hanya 1 kali yang saya menwakili sekolah mengikuti sebuah perlombaan yang lebih jelas dengan sebutan " olimpiade Sains".
