Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | And as is characteristic with all temples in Vietnam, here is a stone turtle with a stele on its back. I did not photograph the turtle itself which is set at the bottom of this stone slab as I found the inscriptions on the slab more interesting. The turtle with stone slab on it's back is a standard feature of most Vietnamese temples and usually contains teachings or religious scriptures. The use of a turtle is symbolic as it is said to represent permanence, sincerity and longevity. This particular one in the Thien Mu pagoda grounds was cast in 1715 and records the history of Buddhism in Hue. (Hue, Central Vietnam, Nov. 2016) |
