Kim Ma Pagoda (Kim Son Pagoda)

Kim Ma Pagoda (Kim Son Pagoda)

Kim Son Pagoda, also known as Tau Ma Pagoda, or Kim Ma Pagoda, was built during the Tay Son Dynasty, located at 73 Kim Ma Street, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi. During the Ly Dynasty, the Kim Ma area was a place of execution, this place became a cemetery, people in Kim Ma village established a small temple to worship. At the end of the Le - Trinh period, when Nguyen Hue defeated the Qing army in 1789, tens of thousands of bodies of Tay Son soldiers who died in the battle of Dong Do citadel were also buried here; The temple was restored and named Van Linh hermitage. During the reign of King Tu Duc of the Nguyen Dynasty, in 1881, the people of Kim Ma village contributed to repairing the pagoda and called it Tau Ma pagoda. In the main hall, Buddha statues were erected and the Van Linh altar tablets were moved to both sides. In 1898, the pagoda changed its name to Kim Son Tu. In 1932, the villagers rebuilt and expanded the pagoda, separating the three Tam Bao buildings, the Mother Goddess Temple and the Van Linh altar. During the French temporary occupation of Hanoi, due to the need to re-plan the city, in 1952 the remains in Kim Ma cemetery had to be moved to Yen Ky cemetery (Son Tay). In 1972, Linh Son Pagoda on Nguyen Truong To Street was destroyed by American bombs, all 6 Buddha statues had to be moved to the Van Linh altar and are worshiped until now. In 2011, a memorial stele house for Tay Son martyrs was built next to the Van Linh altar on the left side of the pagoda yard, with its back against the long wall along Kim Ma street. The stele and stele base were made by artisans of Binh Dinh province on a solid red stone slab taken from the mountains of Tay Son district. The pagoda was built in the style of "domestic and foreign" and has bold artistic features of the late Nguyen Dynasty. The Five Gates Gate is about 50m from Kim Son Pagoda and was built in 1953. The Kim Son Pagoda shrine area includes three three-room houses built next to each other. In the middle is the Three Jewels temple worshiping Buddha, on the right is the Van Linh altar, and on the left is the Mother Goddess temple. Inside the Three Jewels there are many horizontal panels, parallel sentences and stone steles. The great painting "Golden Mountain Co Sat" hangs in front of the main hall. In the hall, there are 21 Buddha statues arranged in 4 floors, above are 4 elaborately carved hammock doors. In addition, at Tam Bao there is a monolithic bronze Buddha statue, considered a masterpiece of Buddhist art, 77cm high and weighing over 30kg. The statue is shown in an upright position with the hand holding the "no comrade" seal on a nearly square box-shaped pedestal, molded in one piece with the statue. The front of the pedestal has an engraved Sanskrit text. Kim Son Pagoda has an important history in Buddhist history in particular and national history in general, contributing significantly to the study of the history of formation and development of Thang Long capital. In 1985, Kim Son Pagoda was ranked as a national historical and cultural relic. Every year, on the 5th day of the first lunar month, the death anniversary of the Dong Da battle, the pagoda sets up a vegetarian altar to worship the souls of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.
