Khanh Linh Pagoda

Khanh Linh Pagoda

Located in the unique historical and cultural relic complex of Phuong Ky commune, Khanh Linh pagoda is in Tan Hop village (formerly Tu Ky Ha village) about 20km from the center of Hai Duong city, 5km from the center of Tu Ky district. Nam, has been classified as a national historical relic since 1999. There is a system of statues carved from jackfruit wood, painted with gold, dating back to the 18th century, and a system of finely sculpted stone steles. Crafty, Khanh Linh Pagoda is considered a work of artistic character with heroic historical value. According to the stele kept at the pagoda, Khanh Linh Pagoda was built during the reign of Thieu Long of the Tran Dynasty in 1258. At first, the pagoda was small, with a thatched grass roof. In the following dynasties, people contributed money to repair, roof tiles, buy statues, and cast bells, creating a spacious and splendid scene as the poem described: "Khanh Linh Pagoda is majestic and towering/Sacred land." Talented people / Long-lasting prosperity / Front hall built in front / Glorious high roof / Shocking sound / Venerable Buddha ceremony...". The stele recording the restoration and embellishment shows that people's contributions amounted to 1,838 mandarins, 27 stone pillars, 8 columns and wooden diaphragms. In particular, the person who contributed the least amount of money was 1 coin, the person who contributed a lot up to 120 coins and a stone pillar. Having gone through wars and harsh natural disasters, the pagoda now has 5 front halls and 3 back halls. The front hall has a structure in the style of a stack of 6 trusses, with floral motifs carved into the ridges. Supporting the entire rafters and roof are 12 ironwood columns, 32 cm in diameter. Stone military columns include two types: round and square. Square columns are arranged in front of the door, round columns are behind. The names of the donors are written on the stone pillars. The central compartment is connected to the 3 harem compartments by a truss for fighting cocks and husbands. The harem court has 6 ironwood columns, 29 cm in diameter and 6 stone columns. The altars placing the statues in the three back rooms are all built of bricks. The pagoda's system of Buddha statues, stele, and stone incense sticks is imbued with sculptural art that represents the truth, goodness, and beauty of Buddhism. The statue system here is all carved from jackfruit wood, lacquered and gilded, dating back to the 18th century. The ancient statues in the temple have many different styles, sitting and standing. The statue is balanced and majestic, reflecting the diligence and meticulousness in its creation. In the temple grounds, there are a number of other supporting architectural works, which are a 3-compartment ancestral house, including statues of two monks who practiced at the temple. In front of the temple door is an orchid garden with many species and sizes that has been cared for and cultivated by abbot Thich Nu Thong Nhan for nearly 10 years. That scene created tranquility for the temple. In particular, the pagoda also preserves the steles "Renovating the front hall on the upper floor" and "Khanh Linh Tu Biography"; "Epic of the Ten Directions of Merit" and a stone incense stick with sophisticated decorative motifs. In 1999, Khanh Linh Pagoda was ranked as a national monument by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism).
