The stele inscribed with the Buddha's name

Tru village, An Tru commune, Thanh Lam district, Nam Sach prefecture. Now, the decree is issued for the mandarin to be a district official. The 113th wife is Vuong Thi Lon, nickname Tu Vien, a nurse. She has a deep wish to be passed down forever, so she discussed with the villagers to elect her as the Buddha. Therefore, she requested the text to be engraved on a stone stele to be passed down forever, to be a shining example for future generations.

It is often said that a virtuous person often makes many people happy, which makes us happy, to practice kindness and help many people. It is not a mistake to erect a stele to pass down for a long time. I respectfully think that my father is a famous and wealthy family (phiet duyet), passing down his name in the family line, together talking about doing things in a righteous manner, until now it is the fate of our Nguyen family, discussing "Quality" 114 is acceptable, only "Dao" is sustainable, generous, kind, and bestows kindness. Now, the whole village receives the kindness of the husband.

The great lady Vuong Thi Lon, whose name is Tu Vien, has a generous heart. Now grant the village 20 quan tien su 115 , 2 sao 1 thuoc of good land, to be kept as incense fields. The kindness is carried out, respected, and exalted, which is truly joyful. Also record the merit of Mrs. Vuong Thi Mo as the Buddha, and grant it according to the convention in the stele to be passed down forever, so that it cannot be lost in the future, to be left to the people today.

not confused. Engraved on the stele to praise. Singing:

113 Main wife: First wife or only wife to distinguish from concubine (second wife, seventh wife);

114 “Quality” is a concept in Eastern philosophy. “Quality” and “Culture” are two essential elements of human qualities. Confucius said: “Quality surpasses literature, literature surpasses quality, literature surpasses quality, literature and quality are both equal.” It means that the simplicity and culture of a person must be harmonious and smooth.

115 Historical money to distinguish from Ancient money: An Ancient money (Ancient money) is worth more than 1 Historical money (History money).

Introduction to the bell of Hong Phuc pagoda, Xuan O commune, Tien Du district, Tu Son prefecture.

There is no shortage of pagodas and temples in the world. Hong Phuc Pagoda, Xuan O Commune, Tien Du District is the most famous temple in Kinh Bac. The pagoda had a bell, but it was destroyed by war. In the commune, there were educated people such as But Hien Nguyen Man; Duc Giang Nguyen Khac Minh; Tho Son Nguyen Nhan Lang, Phuc Lac Cao Ba Lanh, Que Hien Nguyen Duy Han, Tho Khe Nguyen Van Lan; Phuc Chinh Nguyen Duy Lam, Duc Tam Nguyen Hao; Duc Son Nguyen Si Kiet; Phuc Giang Cao Ba Vien; Y Phong Nguyen Thien Ke; Dao Khe Nguyen Duc Bac and other local believers who donated their family assets to repair pagodas and build Buddha statues. In April, the 6th year of Dien Thanh (1583), the

The bell was not finished yet. The Minister of Rites, Xuan Son Ba Tran Cu Cong, along with But Hien Nguyen Man; Dao Khe Nguyen Duc Bac, and the 123 large and small Giap 123 bought bronze to cast a new bell. By February 18, the 8th year of Dien Thanh (1585), the bell was finished, hollow inside, straight outside,

123 Giáp: An organization of men, usually divided by region or by clan. If the clan is small, several clans will operate in one Giáp: Giáp Đông, Giáp Đoài... Normally, the father of which Giáp has his children and grandchildren in that Giáp. The Giáp organizations in the village often divide the work of worshiping and burning incense at the village communal house.

The sound enters the mind, in the morning it is offered to Buddha, in the evening it is rung, taking this opportunity to bless or to make someone hear this bell and vibrate or to initiate a good thought. Although (it is possible) that people of Wu and Chu hear it, it also causes their hearts to be cleansed and clean, people have the good fortune of this bell itself. It is not only to warn the world. Moreover, it also has the effect of protecting the country, to bring blessings to the people. This merit, this virtue will not fade for thousands of years. Therefore, it is better to engrave it on a stone tablet to last forever.

I think:

Not to mention all the work.
