Quảng Yên Pagoda

Quảng Yên Pagoda worships Buddha according to the Mahayana tradition. The pagoda was established to meet the people's religious and spiritual needs. It was built to spread Buddhist teachings, encourage good and deter evil, educate people in humanity and righteousness, help them live a good life and practice a beautiful faith, and bring blessings for the future.

On a high, dry, and open plot of land near Thăng Long Boulevard, Quảng Yên village pagoda was built in a position backed by mountains and facing water, surrounded by green rice fields. The main pagoda has a Cong-character ground plan and faces south; to its right is the Mother Goddess Hall, and behind are the Patriarch Worship Hall, guest house, nuns' quarters, and other ancillary works. All items are planned within a closed space, harmonious with the landscape while fully preserving the traditional architectural style.

Quảng Yên Pagoda is not large but has many horizontal and vertical buildings in the style of Trăm Gian Pagoda. Its architecture has been simplified, creating a sense of closeness for Buddhists when they come to the pagoda to worship Buddha.

The pagoda currently preserves nearly 40 round statues, some of which date from and carry the artistic value of the Lê dynasty, such as the statue of Cundi Avalokitesvara and 10 Bodhisattva statues. Most of the remaining statues were created during the Nguyễn dynasty. In addition, the pagoda keeps two bronze bells in the Nguyễn artistic style, one Lê-era ceramic incense bowl, six stone steles, and many other worship objects made during this period.

In addition, the pagoda has some other worship objects such as banners, wooden fish, and Buddhist scriptures...
