The king specially issued a decree, authorizing all the people of Thuy Khue villages to be the chief of the rituals, incense, worship, and every year, the officials led the money, money, and land taxes to plant mulberry, potatoes, beans, and all kinds of taxes on ponds, lakes, and the repair of dikes, roads, and all kinds of money at the place where the temple was built, and all kinds of taxes and miscellaneous services were exempted. The decree was issued, like a shining star. So at that time, there was a concubine named Nguyen Thi Ngoc Lien in the royal palace, a holy woman who followed the religion and did not hesitate to donate money and land for worship. Again, obeying the Lord Tay Dinh Vuong as the marshal, holding the government of the state, being a rare hero and the work of farming everywhere following good deeds, expanding the heart of humanity like the clouds covering the area of the rising sun, in the third year of the Khanh Duc era (1651) he ordered the people to create a custom of this pagoda in Thuy Khue commune to follow the decree and edict that granted the title, both to respect the Buddhist religion and to consolidate the state's foundation, his great favor permeated everywhere, and the thatched houses, coriander alleys filled with virtues descended to everyone with white hair and green hair. Compared to the precarious mountain peak, his merit was equal to Tan Vien mountain, compared to the turbulent flowing river, his favor was as deep as Hat Thuy river. Not only the people in a village or a country are blessed, but everyone is able to ride the whistle of longevity to see the light under the Bodhi tree, everywhere is blessed to go down to the underworld to enjoy the joy in the garden of merit, that is thanks to the grace of the Holy Emperors, Holy Kings, and wise Lords who have protected us, as great as the sky and the earth, how dare we consider it small! That is to do good karma, complete good results. Indeed, the principle of heaven is from the heart, there is good yin virtue, there is positive reward, when blessings reach the country, the country will be peaceful and prosperous, having received the favor of heaven, then heaven will help even more. When there is abundant good fortune, great merit, there is no knowing how much can be thought of, can be done.
Great! Great!
The nine heavens shine through, the Buddhas protect with compassion, the Holy Emperor is peaceful, strong for hundreds of millions of years. The Holy King is peaceful and has a boundless life span. In the palace, there is harmony and longevity for hundreds of years. Congratulations to the Viceroy's Palace: having a peaceful and prosperous country, enjoying a long life. The path of writing is also the same, the map of the country is one.
home. Climbing mountains and crossing seas far away, like a steadfast dedication to eat and sing until the court. Saints continue Saints, wise men pass on wise men, the country of billions of years is certain that it cannot be changed. In the future, whoever has a filial heart and steps into this scene, mouths reading the words on this stele, who will not love and be pleased, open their hearts to goodness to enter the path of goodness. Like that, how much longer will the encouragement of future generations make people remember them! While I was doing public work, there was a person from Thuy Khue commune who created the custom and came to ask for an inscription, for convenience, I immediately composed a few verses and ordered them to be engraved on the stele for long-term transmission.
The proof is as follows:

The restoration of the Hoi Linh temple, the Buddha statue, the general devotion and the offering of the field are inscribed with the inscription. The Ung Thien prefecture, Thanh Oai district, Uoc Le commune, has the Hoi Linh temple, a truly famous place in An Nam country. On the left, Thanh Long led the way to the imperial examinations, and on the right, To Lich turned around, on the right, the White Tiger's pen stand is tall and the golden platform is towering... In front, the Chu Tuoc village is the main sect of the ancient dynasty, behind, the black tortoise island is the wind, the wind blows from generation to generation. The four ancient bells are precious and the people are beautiful; The Buddhas' response, blessing comes, fortune comes. The island country is blessed and the country is prosperous, the year is prosperous, the world is peaceful, and the people are happy and the people have a long life. Therefore, thinking of the Pure Land, together they raise the treasure.
Ward, the first meditation heaven of pine forest, the first blessed land. You people are the ones who change things and come to the palace, those who see it cannot return without feeling, the day and the month are those who can shake it. However, the palace has to be built and restored, there must be great cold and great, great cause and effect, great means, great meritorious people. At that time, the great good officer of the Yingtian prefecture, Qing Oai district, Cam Tuyen commune, An Khoi village, the great official of the Wing Van Tan Tri Cong, specially sent by the golden-eared and glorious mandarin, the chief eunuch in charge of affairs, Yen district duke Dao Quang Hoa, the noble mandarin of Nam Duong, the world's famous sage. When young, he traveled the cold and wet season, and grew up with the will to be a monk. When he met the prosperous time, he met the holy king. He felt the gathering of the dragon and cloud, and also begged for the talent. The strong man secretly instructed him on the road, the day of the dragon and the precious fortune; Thuong Kiet advanced the light in Ly, and was very handsome. He was steadfast and willing to follow the iron and stone heart, and liked to control the weather of the clouds and thunder. On the 18th day of the 6th month of the year of the Pig, although the state affairs were in a state of panic, the meaning was naturally hidden. The Grand Marshal, the Chief of State, and the Prime Minister, Wen Qing, was also benevolent and heroic. The general was in charge of the external affairs... in the autumn of the rebellion, the army was successful; the king's army was in the internal affairs, and the day of the capital's recovery, many achievements were made. The wings supported the Emperor's new earth; the nine heavens' sun and moon were bright. The holy king had meritorious services, and the country was granted the title of Duke, and he was in charge of the military power of Lang Son, and concurrently carried out all affairs at the time. The secondary government was cultivated, and he passed through hundreds of years of hard work. The world was like the land of the Dau-suat, and people were happy to see him as a king. The wife of the inner district, Tran Thi Ngoc Lam, was born in Thuong Tin prefecture, Thuong Phuc district, Co Hien commune, and had a pure and virtuous nature. She admired the Zen sect and taught it for many years. She developed a boundless heart, and created a future glory. In the family, she only produced to cultivate and worship, and the people of the world were happy to support her. Then, on the twelfth day of the tenth month of the year of the Metal Snake, the right to return to the valley and move the gourd to the tower, the work of the cold and dry, the tower is trembling, not in the middle of the week but in the west of the sky, the true tower is long, and is majestic in the upper direction. In this bright sky, this vast blessed land, there is a hall for the Buddha, there are incense burning halls, front and back halls, left and right corridors, three gates, sage contemplations, connected in four directions, the Buddha statues are restored, the water palace creates the Buddha statues with seventeen features. The one image of the Dharma body is restored, the two features are added together, the golden and green jade is bright and clear, and the sound is covered.
Photo. The precious and brilliant true person appeared. The Buddha in the lapis lazuli world, majestic and majestic, resounding and deep. The Buddha's sun shines with it, and the venerable one responds with it. There is a field of ten eyes, offering the land of the Three Jewels, leaving it as a bowl, to serve the Buddha with care. The system of rotation, the scale of the altar. The pavilion absorbs a thousand pieces of wood, the door opens with ten thousand kinds of flowers. The worldly things outside the dust are pure, the meritorious deeds are in the midst of joy. From this one gets the name, and eventually it is due to its residence. Again, there is a human opportunity, increasing the result of blessings. Leaving home to do meritorious deeds, Mount Tai is copper and holds the air. The furnace of heaven and earth is a piece of yin and yang. All meritorious deeds arise, and all Buddhas protect, but not until a day, they are accomplished. The dragon's hair is smooth, the tiger's shape is like a deer's mud. The golden book is placed on the round, the mysterious pearl tower is destroyed. The sound of hearing is heard in the nine heavens, and the sound shakes ten thousand miles. Those who hear it open the cage, those who hear it are enlightened. One mantra is heard, and one hundred merits are present. The success is the legacy of the past, and is passed down to its descendants. The legacy is only suitable, and its ultimate use is great. The Buddha hears the sound and descends to the scene, the people hear the sound and arouse good hearts. The golden dharma instruments are recorded, the merit is complete, and good is with good talents. Who believes? Doing good deeds descends on walls, and good receives blessings. With this, how many sands of good fortune and goodness are there, the body is strong and the family is glorious. The wife and servants are harmonious and happy, the children and grandchildren are noble and illustrious. The children and grandchildren inherit and succeed. The generals of the same family are like Li Su's successor to Xi Ping, the family business is like Cao Wei's successor to Wu Hui. The title and virtue are both the three of Mencius's descendants; the wealth and longevity are both the five of Shang Shu's descendants. The world's title and salary, the world's loyalty and fidelity are all illustrious; the people's blessings, the family's blessings, the nation's blessings are boundless. The merits and virtues are both equal, and their names are known in the bamboo. The name of a thousand generations, the career of a thousand years, will last forever without limit. The translation says: "A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings"; The saying is truly fruitful - The surplus is carried on the boat, and can be passed on for a long time. The inscription says:
Thanh Oai is a famous scenic spot and Uoc Le is a famous incense.
Pure Land Thought Creates This Treasure Hall
Painting of the electric ring of the corridor
The door opens to all things, Wood absorbs heaven chapter
The strange and precious object emitted from the wall

The stele records the restoration of Hoi Linh temple, the creation of a Buddha statue, the casting of a large bell, and the donation of land.
In Uoc Le commune, Thanh Oai district, Ung Thien prefecture, there is Hoi Linh temple , which is truly a famous place of the Southern country. On the left side, there is Thanh Long leading the To Lich river, on the right side, Bach Ho waiting, in front, there is Chu Tuoc surrounding with the rolling water; behind is the Huyen Vu range, which is really precarious, mountains surround the land. All four sides are filled with sacred air, people and valuable things; all Buddhas are responsive, blessings and fortunes come. If you pray, blessings will come to the country, fullness and peace; those who pray will have blessings come to them, happy life. Now the Pure Land has become a precious place of pine forest, truly the first Zen heaven, the first blessed land. Recently, things have changed, the temple has become deserted. Anyone who sees it cannot help but feel sorry and sympathetic, days and months pass by but it still cannot be restored. Perhaps it is still waiting for a great benefactor, great destiny, great means, great merit.
Today, fortunately, I met a great sage from An Khoai village, Tuyen Cam commune, Thanh Oai district, Ung Thien prefecture, named Duke Dao Quang Hoa, holding the position of Duc Van Tan Tri.
