The pagoda has a special connection with Most Venerable Thich Dat Hao (1917–1996). Duc Hoa Buddhist records note that in 1994, the Most Venerable initiated the new construction of Phap Bao Pagoda in his hometown of Duc Hoa; in 1996, the Main Hall (Dai Hung Bao Dien) was completed, and he later entrusted his disciples to continue finishing the ancestral altar house.
