The Saritap from the yard, a stupa of 206 cm heigh, was built by the widow of a king, during the 800s. My attention is drawn by the small pebbles piles. They are left by the believers who asked something from the Gods.

The next construction is Gwaneumjeon, where one may see  Gwanseeum Bosal or the Hearer of Cries, who always hears and helps people in need.


Before I leave the temple, I admire the big bell. Near the exit gate, a wonderful fir-tree is blooming once again, adding another year to the centuries of the temple…

Mai departe intru intr-o curte adiacenta celei care adaposteste pavilionul principal si dau de un altul, mai mic, numit Birojeon sau Holul cu Budha Vairocana, cel care intruchipeaza Adevarul, Intelepciunea si Puterea cosmica. Constructia dateaza din 751, a fost arsa de japonezi si reconstruita in 1666. Reconstruirea s-a facut pe baza pietrelor de temelie ale cladirii, datand din perioada Shilla si folosind planuri din timpul dinastiei Joseon. Un Budha din bronz bogat aurit, masurand 177 cm inaltime, se afla in centru.
