Me So Pagoda.

Me So Pagoda.

Me So Pagoda is located in Me So village, Me So commune, Van Giang district, Hung Yen province. The pagoda belongs to the Northern sect. Me So Pagoda is located next to the Red River dyke, in the middle of a rich countryside that has long been famous for its thousand-eyed, thousand-armed Quan Am statue. The pagoda was built in the Later Le Dynasty and has been repaired many times. The remaining vestiges were mainly restored at the end of the 19th century. Only the thousand-eyed, thousand-armed Guan Yin statue remains relatively intact. Guan Yin or Avalokiteśvara means to hear the cries of suffering of living beings in life to save them. Guanyin can manifest into thousands of different forms to adapt to every situation to save every case of suffering. With boundless magical power and power, and absolute wisdom with thousands of hands and eyes, he saved all. The statue was created in a meditating position and is quite large in size. From the crown to the seat is 1.4m high, the pedestal is 0.53m high, the lotus flower is 0.23m high, with an elegant, pure face and slim body, creating a beautiful statue in both content and form. show. The statue has two main pairs of hands, the first pair clasped in front of the chest, bearing the "standard de" seal, the other pair of hands raised above to support the lotus stems and small Buddha statue. The large hands are more or less soft and flexible, the arms are round, the bare soles are clasped at the sides in different high and low positions. The opening of the arms is high enough without obscuring the statue. Right behind the big arm is a system of small arms with hundreds of arms and eyes formed into 10 layers growing in symmetrical pairs. These ten layers of hands and eyes are divided into 3 large parts, creating the feeling of a halo radiating from the statue's head. Above the statue's head, the halo is embossed with a cloud shape with small arms intertwined like bird wings in a flying position. This bird avoids the "ungainly" halo of the image, arousing the viewer's curiosity about Buddhism. The small hands of the statue are shown with long, slender arms, the eyes are placed in the palm of the hand to form the nectar seal, these arms vary in length according to the degree of opening gradually taking the statue's head as the center, making them as having a combined function to form an aura... Together with the lotus base and pedestal, all create a complete statue with meticulously skilled lines. The contemporary concept of beauty has been conveyed by artists into the statue with elegant, benevolent lines for the face and figure. This is one of the wooden statues that represent Vietnamese fine arts of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The thousand-eyed, thousand-armed Guan Yin statue at Me So Pagoda is the pride of Vietnamese statue sculpture, bringing many creative features while still reflecting the compassionate spirit of Buddhism and the soul of Vietnam. Me So Pagoda was ranked as a national architectural and artistic relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information on November 16, 1988.
