Entering into Mu Wi Sa Temple in Wol Chul San MountainsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #travel7 years ago

I had looked around some temples in Southern area of Korea.
As I posted, the Buddhist temples are located near the foot of the mountain.
Mu Wi Sa temple was placed along the southern part of Wol Chul San Mountain which was famous for its scenery of the rocks.
The meaning of the temple was so interesting, it seemed to contain Taoistic philosophy.
Mu Wi means 'Do Nothing'. Here 'Do Nothing is non artificial'.
Sometimes teachings between Buddhism and Taoism seemed very close.

When I arrived at the temple, it was late afternoon.
What waiting for me was the one pillar gate. It seemed to be built in the recent time.

There was a Heaven Kings gate after the one pillar gate. The Heaven Kings gate itself was not particular.
But the scenes from the heaven kings gate was so awesome.

Finally I could get arrived at the center of the temple, passing through the 2 story auditorium in front of the main hall of this temple.

The gates of the Buddhist temple seemed to be built as the process of the ceremony to prepare for real praying to Buddha.

@slowwalker,
It seems like you had to walk a long way to cover the temple buildings. My knowledge about Korean building structures are really NIL! So I can't say a much about them, but I have never seen such buildings (specially roofs) in my country!

Cheers~

The roofing is so very ornate! What a nice setting in the mountain area. I really like the look also of the stones used as steps and wall on the last photo! Nice work.

Nice to see the shots from today's post looks a very divine place !

Always love visiting Buddhist temples. They are so serene, peaceful and beautiful. Though the ones here in Cambodia look very different. Have a lovely day my friend.

Must've been an awesome sight to behold.

Wow.... Excellent... Really i love your photography....and post... My dear friend...💕 @slowwalker

I also think Buddhism and Taoism similar to each other as the temple name
Mu Wi implies. Thank you for good posting.

It looks really nice. But also iy looks really empty for a nice place like this.
I am wondering is it really empty (no tourist) or u try hard to take empty photos? 🤔

If I had a "Temple's Tuesday" Contest, this would be first place winner! 👍 🎉 😁

Tuve que usar el traductor google para entenderlo sin embargo me resulto bastante interesante e ilustrativo, saludos.
