Quat Dong Pagoda

Quat Dong Pagoda, whose Sino-Vietnamese name is 'Linh Bao Tu', is a large pagoda worshipping Buddha according to the Mahayana school, with multi-tiered Buddha statues arranged in both the bai duong (worship hall) and thuong dien (upper sanctuary). Besides the main pagoda, there are also nearby architectural structures such as the Patriarch's house, guest house, and accommodation for monks and nuns. According to the inscription on the bell, khánh, and a number of Le dynasty relics still preserved today, such as the palanquin canopy - worship cabinet, some statue sets, and Tam Bao incense burners, Quat Dong Pagoda was built during the Le dynasty and underwent major restoration during the Nguyen dynasty. The pagoda is located on a spacious and square plot. In front of the pagoda are the village road, the pagoda well, and the pagoda pond; to the south of the pagoda is a densely populated residential area. In front of the pagoda gate is a three-entrance gate system. Across a large brick-paved yard is the bai duong hall and thuong dien. Quat Dong Pagoda has a fruit garden, so entering the pagoda offers a spacious, airy, and quiet space that attracts Buddhists and visitors.
