Phuc Quang Pagoda

Phuc Quang Pagoda

Located 20km northeast of Bac Giang city center, Tien Luc commune, Lang Giang district is famous for its clusters of historical and cultural relics. This is an ancient temple, established in 1723 under the reign of King Le Canh Hung, facing south, built by a monk whose hometown was Tien Luc, Lang Giang - he is the Patriarch sitting on the Three Jewels. . The pagoda has 35 compartments, designed in the "domestic and foreign" architectural style. The entire front hall, two corridors and bell tower are connected to form the letter Quoc, the remaining part is the incense burner connected to the upper palace to form the letter Cong. In the pagoda, the system of Buddha statues is arranged in order from the upper hall to the two corridors and below the large bell tower, in total there are about 90 precious ancient statues. If you stand in the middle of the pagoda to observe and admire the ancient statues, you will not be surprised and admired by the extremely skillful and sophisticated sculpting art of the ancestors. With these precious values, in 1989, Phuc Quang Pagoda was ranked by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) as a National Historical and Cultural Monument. However, the people of Tien Luc commune still constantly wonder why the pagoda has such beautiful, majestic architecture and peaceful landscape without an owner, with the doors closed front and back. Mr. Nguyen Dinh Thuan, the long-time caretaker of the pagoda, said that there is a monk Thich Hue Cuu, whose birth name is Nguyen Thanh Chung (from Ninh Thuan), who has stayed for no more than three years at the longest (abbot since 2010). to 2013). Even though they cannot explain it, people believe in the sacredness of the temple. The evidence is that during the war years, although the surrounding area was bombarded to the point of ruin, Phuc Quang pagoda and Tien Luc commune were still safely protected. They believe that the more than 300-year-old pagoda has guarded this land, helping people settle down. At the end of 2014, the project to renovate and embellish Phuc Quang Pagoda relics was officially started, including 04 main items. On the morning of July 29, 2016, 02 completed items were handed over as planned, including the Main Pagoda (Three Jewels, Bell Tower, two Corridors), area of ​​884.5 m2 and Thao Xa House, area of 278.3 m2. The total settlement value from the national target funding source and local budget is estimated to be about 23.5 billion VND. SOURCE PROPAGANDA COMMITTEE OF BAC GIANG PROVINCIAL COMMITTEE
