Abstract

“Hương Sơn Precious Book” is a Chinese Buddhistic literary work having a great impact in Vietnam on many aspects such as literature, folk culture, belief and religion activities. In this work, the legend of princess Diệu Thiện becoming Guan Yin on Hương Sơn mountain was widely diffused in Vietnam and many times was recreated in Nôm transcription. This paper exploits other part of documents besides the religious Nôm “Hương Sơn Precious Book”. These are the Hán - Nôm geographical and literary documents having contents on legends and vestiges related to legends in Vietnam, thence confirming some influences of “Hương Sơn Precious Book” in Vietnam as well as localized forms of a nonindigenous Buddhistic legend.
