Ben
Duoc Memorial Temple |
|
|
The complex,
by some referred to as the Peace
Pagoda, has
a 39 meter high tower with 9 floors, i.e. an
odd number of stories, to correspond with the
yang
principle of the
yin-yang
concept, i.e. the
bright aspect.
In addition, the tower is
said to symbolize the rise up to
the pinnacle of future fame. Adjacent to the tower is
the Inscription House, a square edifice with in at its
center a 3 meter tall marble tablet, said to weigh 3.07
tons. |
