|
 |
|
| |
The Vinh Trang Pagoda is located in a large garden in My Phong Commune, My Tho City. The architecture of the pagoda is a harmonious combination of Asian and European types of architecture, creating the splendid, but simple features of this Buddhist pagoda.
In 1849,Vinh Trang pagoda was build on the area of over 2,000 m2, , in My Phong village, My Tho City, in the shape of “Nation” letter of chinese characters, including four large departments connected with each other: the front department, the main department, the worship department, and the back department, bearing a combination of European-Asian architecture and creating a splendid beauty, solemnity, but purity.
The extremely beautiful structures in the pagoda are two triumphal arches bearing an art of inserting bottle and porcelain fragments which create harmonious pictures illustrating the Buddha’s legendaries. Inside the pagoda, there is a set of pictures “ eight angels riding on animals” another set of statues of the Amitabha Holy Trinity carved in bronze, as big as a man, and more particularly, the set of the eighteen Arhants, wood carving work, is the only one, not two, in the west of South Vietnam, made by a number of artists in 1907.
