Behind the ancient appearance, peaceful and peaceful is a whole ups and downs past full of events of the temple. Bao Lam Temple was founded under King Minh Mang by the 38th Patriarchate Lam Dao.
Before 1945 – an unforgettable historical milestone of the Vietnamese nation, the Bao Lam Buddhist Studies Association established by the pagoda was the place to train the majority of Buddhist disciples throughout the province. After the national liberation in 1945, the locality borrowed the main hall to build an office building, while the eastern and western houses were kindergartens. Since then Bao Lam Buddhist Studies Association stopped working, all valuable treasures of the temple must be sent to Khanh Son pagoda for retention.

Bao Lam Phu Yen Pagoda was restored in 1949 after being devastated by a typhoon, most of the original architectural materials were destroyed and lost. Later, the temple was once again destroyed under the storm of bombs and storms of the French colonialists.

In 1956, Bao Lam pagoda was newly rebuilt on the new ground, belonging to Lien Tri hamlet, Binh Kien commune, about 500m from the original place. There built a precious lotus lake which is also the origin of Buu Nien pagoda.
