Saigon?s One-Pillar Pagoda
2008-05-18 22:38:00 Nam Thien Nhat Tru Pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City is a place that can alleviate the homesickness of migrants from the North. It also gives southerners and tourists an opportunity to experience the charm of the real One-Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi.This pagoda, at 100 Nguyen Van Bi Street in HCMC?s Thu Duc District, is a replica of Hanoi?s famous Mot Cot (One Pillar) Pagoda.Designed by architect Nguyen Gia Duc, the Nam Thien Nhat Tru Pagoda was built in 1958 by Buddhist monk Thich Tri Dung.Its rafters, tile roofs, floral patterns and the arrangement of altars are the same as the Hanoi original.The Nam Thien Nhat Tru Pagoda is perched above a square lake of about 600 square meters.It sits on a 12-meter-high cement pillar in the middle of the lake.Inside, there are altars for Sakya Muni Buddha, Wan Yin Boddhisattva and other sacred beings.Behind the main section is a tower and a commemorative room.The lake has a lot of fish and turtles.The staircase up to the pagoda is decorated with ornamental ...

Hoi Khanh Pagoda ? a spiritual gem in the south
2008-04-25 04:11:00 Located in Phu Cuong Ward, Thu Dau Mot Town, Binh Duong Province, 25 kilometers south of Ho Chi Minh City, Hoi Khanh Pagoda features distinctive architecture and splendid replicas of four Buddhist holy sites.Originally built in 1741, French troops had razed the complex in 1860.A monk named Chanh Dac mobilized efforts to reconstruct the structure in 1868 near the ruins of the old one.The overarching design of the pagoda resembles a typical nha ruong ? houses in the former Hue imperial capital in the central region with carved wooden beams and pillars ? rather than traditional southern architecture.However, the style of each building on its grounds and the many stupas in the big courtyard varies wildly.North of the main entrance stands a multi-level tower, which houses the remains of late head monks and the sutras.The tower follows the traditional pattern of Chinese-style pagodas in the south.It is hexagonal-shaped with seven tiers, each displaying a curved roof forming the image of a...

ueno toshogu pagoda
2008-03-30 07:00:00 Ueno park has one of the most interesting collection of ancient Japanese gravemarkers (shown foreground right); these lanterns, I'm told, double as the markers for departed guardians of the temple. apparently, these grounds are also one of Tokyo's haunted areas, and it's said that at the tori gate near the entrance to this temple, a cold wind always blows. i and some of my friends went to investigate this phenomenon, Ghost Hunters style-- and discovered that a) we couldn't get any EVPs from the voice recorders we used; b) the reason there's a cold wind blowing is because all the air is funneled down a narrow corridor created by the lanterns and fences, straight to where the entrance is. we went out on a dark summer's night and not once did we feel a creepy vibe or anything. still, the temple is pretty great to have a look at-- especially in hanami season!

Vinh Nghiem Pagoda, an architectural masterpiece of HCMC
2007-12-17 04:37:00 Vinh Nghiem Pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City is one of the largest pagodas in Vietnam.It covers an area of 6,000 square meters and was constructed between 1964 and 1971 under the design guidelines of Vietnamese architect, Nguyen Ba Lang.Two Vietnamese monks, Thich Tam Giac and Thich Thanh Kiem, originally conceptualized the idea of building a large Buddhist center in Southern Vietnam.They had come to Saigon, present-day HCMC, from the north in 1964 to spread Buddhism and visualized a temple of worship that could be made from long-lasting concrete instead of traditional wood.The monks modified a version of wooden Vinh Nghiem Pagoda in Bac Giang Province which was built during the Ly Dynasty (1010-1225).The newly-built pagoda thus became the first in Southern Vietnam to have similar architecture of the old Vinh Nghiem Pagoda, but with concrete as its main building material.The pagoda has since become a popular place of worship for Buddhists, especially on the first and fifteenth of the luna...

China inaugurates 'world's tallest pagoda'
2007-05-01 09:44:00 China has inaugurated what is believed to be the world's tallest pagoda, which at almost 154 metres reaches even higher than the Great Pyramid of Egypt, state media said today.Buddhist monks from China and abroad have gathered for the opening of the 13-storey Tianning Pagoda, a Zen place of worship, in the eastern city of Changzhou city, the Xinhua news agency reported.The structure took five years and 300 million yuan ($A47 million) to build, it said.Tianning Temple, one of the four largest Zen Buddhist temples, dates from the Tang Dynasty (618 to 907 AD). It has been destroyed and rebuilt five times over the past 1,350 years, Xinhua said.Religion is experiencing something of a renaissance in modern China, as the government has lifted many of the social controls in place in earlier decades.A recent survey suggested China now had 300 million worshippers of various religions, three times as many as previously thought.

Tran Quoc Pagoda
2007-03-27 00:17:00 Tran Quoc Pagoda is the oldest of all pagodas in Hanoi. Located beside the dazzling West Lake in Hanoi, Tran Quoc Pagoda is a cultural symbol of Vietnamese Buddhism. It is said that, the pagoda was built under the reign of King Ly Nam De (544-548) under its original name of Khai Quoc (National Founder). It was originally built on the bank of the Red River (then West Lake and the Red River met). In the time of King Le Kinh Tong (1600-1618), the pagoda was removed to the Kim Ngu (Golden Fish) Islet due to the river bank crumbling and was renamed Tran Quoc (National Defence).Chùa Trấn QuốcMore info |
