Dong Nghiem Pagoda

Dong Nghiem Pagoda

Dong Nghiem Pagoda, also known as Ke Pagoda, was built a long time ago (before the Le Dynasty). The pagoda was built right next to Nghe Ke in Dinh Ke ward. Dong Nghiem Pagoda is a branch of Vinh Nghiem Pagoda, a resting place for monks before returning to the place where Vinh Nghiem's ​​ancestors sit down. Dong Nghiem Pagoda plays the role of Chief Administrator of Vinh Nghiem ancestral temple. Therefore, it is very likely that Dong Nghiem Pagoda was built during the Tran Dynasty and was a busy place because of the missionary activities of the Truc Lam Zen sect in its ancestral home of Vinh Nghiem. During the resistance war against the Ming Dynasty invasion, Dong Nghiem Pagoda was destroyed and ruined. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it was renovated and expanded, becoming a quite busy center of Buddhist activities of the people. The ancient architectural works of the pagoda are quite large-scale, including many buildings: the Upper Palace, the Three Jewels, the Nine Items Court, the bell tower, the grand entrance, the ancestral house, the three-entrance gate, and the garden. It is very unfortunate that due to the war, many works of Dong Nghiem Pagoda no longer exist. Dong Nghiem Pagoda still maintains a fairly complete system of worship statues concentrated in the upper palace. Most of the statues are carved from wood and gorgeously painted, among which the statues of Tam The, Amitabha, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and Bodhisattva Bodhisattva are beautiful statues. There are also many other precious worship objects. In particular, the pagoda still has 3 valuable stone steles left. Dong Nghiem Pagoda has been ranked by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a national architectural and artistic relic according to Decision No. 226/VH-QD, dated February 5, 1994.
