Pagoda and statues to celebrate the cult of Buddha in a pleasant garden in Noyant, a real invitation to meditation.
In the 1950's, the village welcomed the repatriates from Indochina in the "corons" left by the Polish miners. This is how an Asian community was formed, which is still important today and gives this village its specificity. Take advantage of a beautiful day to walk in the corons, these small houses of miners attached with a garden characteristic of this district renamed cité de la Brosse. These streets, which today bear the names of flowers, will lead you quietly to the famous and atypical pagoda. In 1983, the Asian community erected a pagoda and statues to celebrate the worship of Buddha in a peaceful place. This Buddhist garden includes the Bodhisattvas' alley, whose statues symbolize the reincarnations of Buddha at different times. The columbarium houses the ashes of deceased Buddhists, a monumental statue of the meditating Buddha, and the mausoleum of Venerable Thich Trung Qua. Thanks to the use of QR codes, all the explanations on the statuary will scroll along the walk, including those on a reclining Buddha, head to the east and feet to the west, symbolizing the attainment of Nirvana, those on the Buddha sitting barefoot, eyes closed. You will see animals, the pond with its lotus flowers. Take off your shoes and enter the temple guarded by lions. The pagoda welcomes you for free in its gardens and in the temple, be respectful and discreet. A real invitation to meditation.
