Ngu Xa Pagoda

Ngu Xa Pagoda

Ngu Xa Pagoda, whose literal name is Than Quang Tu or Phuc Long Tu, is located on Ngu Xa Street, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi, and was built in the Later Le Dynasty, 18th century. After a fire in 1949, the pagoda was rebuilt and completed. Founded in 1952. The pagoda is a place to worship Buddha and bronze casting founder Nguyen Minh Khong of Ngu Xa bronze casting village. Ngu Xa Pagoda consists of 2 adjacent buildings shaped like a "Nhi letter" connected to the Ta Vu house adjacent to the martyrs' memorial and the back of Ngu Xa communal house. The front hall on the upper floor consists of 5 compartments, the middle compartment is the main shrine of the Three Jewels, two corridors lead to the incense burning court and the harem has a pair of statues of the Dharma Protector standing guard, 2 outer compartments worship the Saint Tang and the Monsignor. The upper floor of this house has 3 worship rooms, the middle room worships the Holy Mothers, the left room worships Quan Tam Thanh, the right room worships the Patriarch. The Buddha hall is solemnly decorated, the main hall has a giant Amitabha Buddha statue, a famous work in many aspects. What is special is that the amount of bronze used to cast the statue was taken from statues honoring the colonial regime erected by the Protectorate government in flower gardens in Hanoi city. They are the statue of Governor-General Paul Bert in the Paul Bert flower garden (today's Ly Thai To flower garden), the Statue of Liberty in Cua Nam flower garden and the Canh Nong statue in the Robin flower garden (today's Lenin flower garden). The Amitabha Buddha statue currently located at the pagoda is the oldest bronze Buddha statue in Vietnam still kept and was confirmed by the Vietnam Record Book Center in 2010. In addition, the pagoda also preserves an incense burner worshiping Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and 16 stone stele built from 1919 to 1947. On May 11, 1993, Ngu Xa Pagoda and Ngu Xa communal house were ranked as National Architectural and Artistic Monuments by the Minister of Culture and Information.
