Bien Son Pagoda - Yen Lac

Bien Son is a beautiful pagoda of Yen Lac district, Vinh Phuc, ranked as a national historical relic since 1996, located on a high mound of about 1.5 hectares. In the past, the pagoda was called Doc Nhi, local people often called it Bien Mountain with a very strange shape. History books also record that in the 16th year of Thanh Thai's reign, the pagoda was built with Mon-style architecture. Due to changes in time, the pagoda no longer retains its original ancient architectural structure but was restored and embellished in the Dinh style, an architectural style bearing the Nguyen Dynasty's style including 2 worship halls and the main hall. Around the pagoda, the scenery is peaceful and charming, under many years old trees covered with a majestic green color. Coming from Provincial Road 303, visitors will be able to admire the first beauty of the pagoda, which is Tam Quan. The three-entrance gate is designed in the style of a three-storey, 12-roofed dome and is decorated very elaborately and sophisticatedly. From Tam Quan, there is the most straight path consisting of stone steps built along a gentle slope. The pagoda was built according to the internal and external principles. In the temple grounds, there are two long corridors connecting the front house in the front with the back house in the back, forming a rectangular area surrounding the incense burning house. Compared to other temples in the region, Bien Son Pagoda still preserves a system of more than 40 dharma statues and also preserves many valuable treasures and antiques. The statues here are beautifully crafted, gorgeously painted and gilded, meticulously crafted, imbued with the style of the Le Dynasty. A highlight of the Buddhist architecture at Bien Son Pagoda is the 12-ton monolithic bronze stupa, one of the largest stupas in the country, storing many Buddha relics, especially statues. Buddha Emperor Tran Nhan Tong is made of monolithic green jade... In addition, in the pagoda there are other houses such as the ancestral house, which is a place to worship the monks who once lived at the pagoda and have now passed away, and the monk's house, where the monks live. . Located right behind the upper palace, we can admire another extremely unique architecture, which is the rotating tower, also known as the mortar. Today, Bien Son Pagoda has become a stop, sightseeing, and research destination for many tourists on their journey to return to their national roots, and is the place where the Loan River - Bien Mountain festival imbued with national identity takes place. , attracting a large number of local people, tourists, and Buddhists from near and far to worship and enjoy.
