Sculptures by the road to Beopjoo-sa Temple Listed by the UNESCO

The next temple I’d like to stop by after Tongdo-sa was Beopjoo-sa temple located in Choongcheongbukdo province in the center of the South Korea. The mountain surrounding Beopjoo-sa temple is Sokree-san. And Beopjoo-sa Temple was listed by the UNESCO.

The name of mountain Sokree has a meaning in Buddhist manner. It means that ‘leaving this reality or current situation what we must to face with. In this respect, Buddhism in Korea seemed to be deeply influenced by Taoism.

It was hot summer day when I dropped by Beopjoo-sa temple.
I needed to walk for minutes to enter into the temple.
The entrance area was very well cared for by the local national park office.

What made me interesting was the area of the sculptures.
It was unexpected there were those sculptures along the entrance road to the temple.
I took the pics among them as below

The subject was about love and women. But the nude sculptures in front of Buddhist Temple were not so strange strangely.

As passing through the sculptures, there was a way covered with the green leaves.
