Dien Huu Temple
Dien Huu Temple: Eight-Armed Avalokitesvara
延祐寺
越南河內巴亭
又稱一柱寺。位於越南河內市巴亭郡。李崇興大寶元年（1049）建，為越南第一座木構建築及現存最早的寺閣。據史載：「李太宗（1028～1053在位）夢見觀音菩薩坐在蓮座上，牽帝上蓮座……」，禪慧禪師乃勸太宗造寺，並按夢中所見，於蓮塘上立一圓石柱，上建蓮座，故名一柱寺，後陸續增建。現為越南國家級歷史文化古蹟。
該寺年代最早的一座建築有如盛開的蓮花，建立在一根高4公尺、直徑1.25公尺的圓石柱上，為歇山頂單層樓閣，檐角起翹，綴以龍雕。寺內粗大的立柱和橫梁，全部以木質斗栱連結，內供奉銅鑄八臂觀音菩薩像；據說此像求子靈驗，故該寺香火興盛。
