The Truc Lam Buddhist heritage sites from the Tran dynasty period are widely distributed in An Tu mountain and its surrounding areas. These sites house a wealth of inscriptions that document the development of Buddhist activities and historical changes of the era. This paper selects representative inscriptions from Dong Trieu district in Quang Ninh province, Chi Linh district in Hai Duong province, and Luc Ngan district in Bac Giang province for introduction and analysis. Dong Trieu district features an abundance of inscriptions, approximately 160 in number, spread across 13 communes and towns, primarily concentrated at religious sites such as temples, shrines, and pagodas. These inscriptions not only record the processes of temple restoration but also detail the virtuous deeds of donors, including donations of land, clothing, and Buddha statues, spanning multiple historical periods from the Tran dynasty to the Nguyen dynasty. Chi Linh district’s Thanh Mai Pagoda and the Con Son–Kiep Bac sites preserve invaluable inscriptions associated with the ancestral lineage of Truc Lam Buddhism. These inscriptions document the succession of teachings and the activities of Buddhist monastic communities, reflecting the flourishing of Buddhism in the region during that period. In Bac Giang province, the inscriptions at Kham Pagoda primarily record the process of crafting Buddha statues and lotus stone pedestals. The inscriptions provide detailed descriptions of statue offerings and the donation behaviors of local devotees. These inscriptional materials are not only crucial sources for studying the history of Buddhism during the Tran dynasty but also offer rich information for later generations about temple restoration, donations, and religious ceremonies. |
