Bongeunsa Temple, Jan.1998... |
|
|
|

Bongeunsa is beside the KOEX Bldg. at Samsung Subway station. It is very beautiful and some of my best pictures from Korea are from there. When you walk in between the buildings, you hear chanting and the drumming of a special musical instrument used by Buddhist monks. |

The statue of the Buddha above is about 27 metres tall, and I loved the two lion figures which guard it.
On the grounds of Bongeunsa is a very old large bell on display. You can forget the big city outside while you are there. A white rabbit was hopping around the yard the time Robert and me visited. Even the washrooms have ceramic tiles on the roof! |
