Thai Lac Pagoda

Thai Lac Pagoda, Lac Hong commune, Van Lam district is also called Phap Van Tu. Lac Hong commune has 4 pagodas worshiping 4 gods in the Four Dharmas: Phap Van, Phap Vu, Phap Loi, Phap Dien, i.e. the gods of clouds, rain, thunder, and lightning. Among them, Thai Lac pagoda worships the god Phap Van. Thai Lac Pagoda was built during the Tran Dynasty and underwent 4 renovations in the early 17th and 18th centuries. The pagoda was built in the style of interior and exterior, through the three-entrance gate is the main worship area. The pagoda was built on a high mound, often called the turtle's back. The pagoda still retains 3 ancient steles recording the restoration and embellishment processes. Up to now, there are only 3 wooden constructions from the Tran Dynasty remaining in the country, namely Dau Pagoda in Bac Ninh, Boi Khe Pagoda in Hanoi and Thai Lac Pagoda. On the dunes, the pillars of the rafters, and on the pillars, there are many large carvings bearing the artistic imprint of the Tran Dynasty. The upper palace of Thai Lac pagoda is considered one of the oldest wooden structures in Vietnam from the 14th century. Thai Lac Pagoda previously had about 20 carved reliefs, also known as dunes, but now only 16 remain relatively intact. 16 carved paintings are mounted between the upper and lower vertical beams to cover the decorative border. 16 carved paintings are arranged from the outer space to the inner space. The paintings depict many themes with the floating technique. Chisel carvings and wood grain create a soft, flexible, fanciful look like paintings. It can be said that these 16 reliefs are one-of-a-kind carvings. Not only that, each column, rafter, and inscription preserved to this day also speaks of the antiquity and value of time, history, and sacredness of Thai Lac Pagoda. People in the area tell each other that Thai Lac pagoda is very sacred. If anyone passes by without removing their hat to show respect, they will fall, or if they do not get off their horse when passing the pagoda, they will also fall from their horse. Thai Lac Pagoda is decorated in the style of before God and later Buddha, meaning that the statue of the Four Dharmas is placed in front of the Buddha statue. The statue of Phap Van is placed in the center of the three jewels palace, an ancient statue dating from the Later Le period. The pagoda still retains two statues of the Three Buddhas, representing the past, present and future. These are statues of Nguyen Dynasty sculpture style. With its historical value, time, and sacredness of the ancient pagoda, Thai Lac pagoda has become an outstanding spiritual destination of Hung Yen. Therefore, the pagoda was recognized as a special national monument in 2018. Source: Hung Yen Newspaper
