Dong Duong Pagoda

Dong Duong Pagoda

Dong Duong Tu is the Sino-Vietnamese name of Dong Duong Pagoda. People here often call Lam pagoda by name, because the pagoda is located in Phuc Lam village, Minh Duc commune. Local people also often call it by the name Trong pagoda, to distinguish it from another smaller pagoda behind the village, called Ngo pagoda. Trong Pagoda, also known as Dong Duong Tu, means the temple faces East, the direction of the rising sun. And the Outer Pagoda is called Man Nguyet Tu, the pagoda faces the moon, when the afternoon sun sets. Talking about its name, we can see that there is a balance and symmetry in the naming of the temple, in the harmonious architecture of the ancients. Like other temples in Vietnam, Dong Duong Tu is a temple worshiping Mahayana Buddhism. The pagoda was built during the Le Dynasty (around 1600) and with the contributions of money and merit from the Le Dynasty general Nguyen The My, who had the merit of engraving the merit stele at the pagoda. According to the stele engraved in the year of Duc Long (1632), it is said that Duke Nguyen The My's name was Van Phuc, and the king trusted and loved many important responsibilities in the inner government. When foreign invaders invaded, he was appointed marshal by the king to lead the army to defeat the enemy, bringing peace to the country and his homeland. He was greatly rewarded by the king. Although his fame was glorious everywhere, he still lived humbly and richly without being arrogant. He spent money to renovate Indochina Pagoda with 54 very spacious rooms. His merits were engraved on the stone stele, currently kept at the Hai Duong Museum, and he was enshrined in a statue at the Indochina pagoda area. Indochina Pagoda was recognized by the state as a cultural and historical relic in 1994. Source: Electronic information portal of Minh Duc commune, Tu Ky district, Hai Duong province.
