It is a fact that most academic discussions with regard to Vietnamese study are focused on economy and politics, and that a strong image as only one of the tourist attractions is perceived to the general public. Recently, however, humanistic discussions have been activated in the domains of literature, folktales, and history, and an interest in Vietnamese Buddhism is also increasing. Discussions on Vietnamese Buddhism mainly include the introduction of Buddhism, the sects of Buddhism, and Southern Buddhism that has linked to surrounding Southeast Asia regions. On the other hand, it seems that the study on the religious culture or religious art in Vietnam has still a weak fundamental basis. This study examined the establishment of Ninh Phuc Tu Temple located in Tỉnh Bac Ninh of northern Vietnam and Buddhist art from a diachronic perspective. The Ninh Phuc Tu Temple was rebuilt in the 17th century under the sponsorship from the Chúa Trịnh (鄭主) clan, and its former appearance is not clear. The monks of Imjejong (臨濟宗) sect, which was passed from China, Thiền Sư Chuyết Chuyết (拙拙和尙) and Thiền Sư Thuyết Thuyết (明行和尙) played a great role in the revival of Ninh Phuc Tu Temple. The formation of this temple exhibits a typical structure of Seonjong (禪宗) temples. In addition, Sahasra-bhuja Sahasra-netra (1656), a representative Buddhist art of the Nhà Hậu Lê dynasty, as well as Buddhist pagodas and portrait sculptures symbolizing Ninh Phuc Tu temple were created at the same time. The revival of Ninh Phuc Tu Temple was possible due to the neo-Buddhist movement (17C) that was boomed at the time and the sponsorship from the person in authority.
