Summary History of Linh Nghia Temple
Tel: (058 625 9040)




Linh Nghia Temple located in Phu Khanh Trung hamlet, Dien Thanh commune, Dien Khanh district, Khanh Hoa province. Previously, the Temple, named Nghia Trung Dan (義塚壇), founded by mandarins in Dien Khanh district, Khanh Hoa province in the fourth year of Tu Duc King – 1851.
In Vietnamese-Chinese characters, Nghia which means affection and gratitude also means cemetery; Trung has two meanings: the grave and hollow; Dan also has two meanings: the Dharma center and the place of worshipping human remains. Thus, Nghia Trung Dan which initially means the place of worshipping remains of soldiers dying in battle in Nguyen dynasty (1752-1792) also means the place of worshipping souls and forsaken spirits nobody makes offerings to them. Afterwards, Nghia Trung Dan renamed Linh Nghia Temple concerned with the following meanings.         

Currently, in the Temple there is a small temple, in which there is a miraculously living stone. Those who are ill have enough conditions to pray the Dharma guards here to support, their illness is lessened gradually. The front face of stone is carved three Chinese characters of Nghia Trung Xu (義 塚 處) on this stone.

Nghia Trung Dan is also the place of the low land, every season of annual rain and flood, rain water which remains very much and very long submerges over the knees. If about two weeks rainy weather lessens, stagnant water can ebb. If it rains much, stagnant water remains ceaselessly and ebbs more slowly. Nghia Trung Dan that includes the above meanings is the local name often called, has had very long time.
Years and months passed, Nghia Trung Dan was ruined gradually, mandarins in Dien Khanh district convened a meeting and entrusted Nghia Trung Dan to local notables in Dien Thanh village to take care of incense-smoke. Taking care of incense-smoke sometime, village elders passed gradually away, the rest held their meeting and entrusted Nghia Trung Dan to Venerable Thich Nhu Tinh in 1947. Now he has become the Most Venerable born in 1926 in Phu Khanh Trung hamlet, Dien Thanh commune, Dien Khanh district, Khanh Hoa province.


The year 1947, to be suitable for the Buddhist meaning, with abbot’s responsibility, when taking care and being in charge of Nghia Trung Dan, Venerable Thich Nhu Tinh renamed the name of Nghia Trung Dan into that of Linh Nghia Temple and he restored this Temple twice in 1952 and in 1992.

From the year 1947 to the year 2007, Senior Venerable Thich Nhu Tinh was the abbot of this Temple. In October 2007, considering his agedness and weakness, his mind remained sagacious, the Most Venerable Monk Thich Nhu Tinh summoned his disciples together and made his testate form of Linh Nghia Temple for Venerable Thich Tinh Tri, the eldest disciple of the Most Venerable Monk to take care of Buddhist matters morning and evening. All of the Most Venerable Monk’s disciples agreed and unanimously obeyed the teachings of the Most Venerable Monk.



In August 2009, having spent the time of years and months, considered Linh Nghia temple to be downgraded, the Most venerable Monk directly instructed Venerable Tinh Tri to assemble his Dharma brothers to proceed to ask permission of construction, great restoration. Currently, the Temple has had permission of construction, about March 14th 2010, that is to say, the twenty-ninth January of the year of the Tiger, the Temple is formally going to organize ceremony of setting stone.   

    Thich Trung Sy delivered his feelings at the ceremony of setting stone.
