Why is this case relevant?

• This case was chosen because of its unique structure design that based on a lotus flower, which was built base on the emperor Lý Thái Tông's dream of meeting the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara and the suggestion of a monk name Thiên Tuệ. The emperor constructed the temple in gratitude for this in 1049. It was recognized as Asia's most unique piece of architecture by the Asia Book of Records. It is a symbol of long lasting happiness and good luck of the capital, Thang Long(Ha Noi).
