Characteristics of Thay Pagoda
Thay Pagoda, which has another name Thien Phuc Tu, was built in the 11th century during the reign of King Ly Nhan Tong. At first, it was a small pagoda managed by Priest Tu Dao Hanh. The pagoda was initially built according to Sino-Vietnamese character "Tam", which is formed by 3 hyphens parallel to each other. According to the Feng shui, the pagoda was founded on a dragon-shaped land in the hope that it would bring about the peace and thrive to the local residents.
The pagoda, therefore, consists of three sections: Ha Pagoda, Trung Pagoda, and Thuong Pagoda. The outer part, Ha Pagoda, is a place for offerings and ceremonies; the middle part, Trung Pagoda, is a place for worship of Buddha; and finally, the inner part is a place for worship of Priest Tu Dao Hanh. An automated sandalwood statue of Tu Dao Hanh that stands and sits is located in a red lacquered shrine trimmed with gold and covered with a curtain.
