Duc La Pagoda

Duc La Pagoda (also known as Vinh Nghiem Pagoda) is located on a low hill in Duc La Pine, Tri Yen Commune, Yen Dung District, Bac Giang Province. Duc La Pagoda is located about 18 km from the city center. Maybe that's why this place is free from the hustle and bustle of the city. The pagoda was built from the beginning of the reign of Ly Thai To (1010-1028) until the reign of King Tran Thanh Tong (1258-1278). The pagoda was a place where many high-ranking monks practiced. Therefore, the pagoda has been renovated to be more magnificent and splendid. The pagoda is also the place where King Tran Nhan Tong came to receive ordination and founded the Vietnamese Zen Buddhist sect. At Duc La Pagoda, King Tran Nhan Tong, Phap Loa and Huyen Quang created the Truc Lam Tam To of the Truc Lam Zen sect. Duc La Pagoda stands out with its charming and poetic natural landscape. The pagoda is located on a low hill, at the confluence of Luc Nam and Thuong rivers. Surrounding the pagoda is Co Tien Mountain. A great location, meeting the mountains and rivers. Not noisy or bustling, standing here, people seem to be immersed in the vastness of heaven and earth. Duc La Pagoda is located on a large campus with an area of ​​about 10,000 square meters. The beginning is Tam Quan gate and then Tien Duong. Entering the temple yard, the old imprints that are still preserved appear right before your eyes. Among them, the large 6-sided stele of Hoang Dinh year is considered the oldest. Duc La Pagoda has a unique architectural style, preserved for thousands of years. The pagoda has a structure with 4 blocks: the pagoda is shaped like the letter "cong", on both sides there are rows of Ta vu and Huu vu. The rows in the pagoda are spacious with 18 compartments. Duc La Pagoda is also known for its sophisticated and artistic sculpture values. Shown most clearly through the system of Buddha statues arranged in 3 main blocks: Three Jewels, First Patriarch's House and Second Patriarch's House. Besides, the pagoda also retains many valuable relics. Notable to mention are the horizontal panels - couplets and the epitaph system with 8 panels recording the historical and development process of Vinh Nghiem Buddhist Center.
