​Renovation Record Hong An Pagoda West lake Tay Ho District Hanoi Vietnam 寺廟翻修記錄 越南河內西湖郡弘恩寺

Hoang An Pagoda (Chùa Hoằng Ân), also known as Quang Ba Pagoda (Chùa Quảng Bá), is located in Tay Ho District, Hanoi, Vietnam. It is one of the extremely important ancestral temples of the Tao Dong (Tào Động) Zen sect in Northern Vietnam. For centuries, this place has carried the pure lineage transmission of the Zen sect. This was the monastery where contemporary high monks and great virtues, such as the Most Venerable Thich Tam Tich (Thích Tâm Tịch)—the second and third Supreme Patriarch (Giáo chủ) of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha—resided and practiced for a long time. By the West Lake with its beautiful scenery of mountains and water, Hoang An Pagoda is situated in the Quang Ba area of Tay Ho District. The main structure of the pagoda is shaped like the Chinese character "Gong" (工), divided into the front hall, the incense burning hall (Thien Huong), and the main sanctuary. The roof is covered with yin-yang tiles that have weathered the passage of time, presenting a simple and ancient dark red color. The internal beams, pillars, and shrines are all crafted from premium wood, carved with delicate dragons, phoenixes, lotuses, and Chinese character couplets. Inside the main sanctuary, multiple historical statues of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Patriarchs are enshrined. The pagoda preserves many precious stone steles and ancient bells, which record the construction history of the temple, the list of meritorious contributors, and the Buddhist thought of that era. 位於越南河內西湖郡的弘恩寺（Chùa Hoằng Ân），又被稱為廣伯寺（Chùa Quảng Bá）。 它是越南北方曹洞宗（Tào Động）極為重要的祖庭之一。數百年來，這裡承載著純正的禪宗法脈傳承。 這裡曾是越南佛教教會第二任、第三任法主（Giáo chủ）——釋心寂大老和尚（Thích Tâm Tịch）等當代高僧大德長期駐錫與修行的道場 ​依山傍水的西湖畔， 弘恩寺坐落於西湖郡的廣伯地區。 寺廟主體結構呈「工」字形，分為前堂、燒香（天香）與正殿。 頂覆蓋著歷經歲月洗禮的陰陽瓦，呈現出古樸的暗紅色。內部的樑柱與神龕皆由上等木材打造，上面雕刻著精細的龍鳳、蓮花及漢字對聯。 正殿內供奉著多尊歷史悠久的佛像、菩薩像與祖師像。 寺內保存有多塊珍貴的石碑與古鐘，上面記錄了寺廟的修建歷史、功德名錄以及當時的佛教思想。
