God the lady inquired road, then the lady gave an incense stick Princess and saying, "This person holding the incense stick down the river, to the place where incense is burnt off, then that's the place where You are needed. " According to the lady, Lord Nguyen Hoang was down the Perfume River to Hue Citadel territory now completely burnt incense. God he stopped there, open land, building founded the Nguyen dynasty existed for over 200 years through successive 13 dynasty. Grateful elderly woman pointed the way for me, Lord Nguyen Hoang had built one temple in the place where God met the lady to church and named Thien Mu (ie the sun midwife).

In fact, there has never existed a Cham temple - monument was covered in O Chau Duong Van An approach of the continent in 1553. But not until 1601 with the decision of Lord Nguyen Hoang, temple officially under construction. The construction of the temple of Lord Nguyen Hoang also linked to another legend.

Legend recounts that very sacred Ha Khe Hill, about Tang has general member named Cao Bien ever come across the mountains where river water sea wherever we see the sacred atmosphere sought cover off. Cao Bien see on Ha Khe Hill had sacred air, he dug behind the foothills to the way the circuit goes, makes sacred the following capacitors are not settled. That night suddenly have a woman be young but sharp looks, the euphoria of silver hair, dressed in his red foothills sat wailing, and spoken out loud: "Hereafter if sovereign Career want accretion circuit Man mountain circuit to tide should establish Buddhist temple, spiritual appeal of this mountain where the air return to being people help countries, all have nothing to worry about ".

In once roamed the horses and along the Perfume River watershed upstream, he caught a small hill rising inside the blue water meandering, that land like a dragon figure looked back. It turned out that, this hill is called Ha Khe Hill. Locals said, this place usually at night an old woman dressed in red pants appeared on the hill continent, telling everyone "Then it will have a leg up to the temple to Lord flexible gas gathering, as long long circuit, the mighty South ". Therefore, it is also called Mu Son (Mountain Thien Mu). Thought of Lord Nguyen Hoang seems to be in tune with the will of the people. He built a temple on the hill, facing the river, named "Heavenly Lady" (Thien Mu). In 1862 under King Tu Duc, to pray for children to lie, the king feared the word "God" of God should come to change from the "Heavenly Lady" to "Linh Mu" (or "spiritual midwife"). Issues such abstinence only progress from year Nham Tuat (1862) until the year of the Snake (1869). Then, people comfortably called two names: Thien Mu Pagoda and Linh Mu Pagoda.
