I have posted so much on the Buddhist temple, so many people asked me whether I am a Buddhist. But I am not a Buddhist. The reason I have posted on the temple was Religion in Korea was a Buddhisam for a long time.
Buddhism was deeply connected to building a nation and system in Korea more than 2000 years ago. Before Buddhism was accepted, the shamanism was a main religion in Korea. The reason why Buddhism in Korea is deeply influenced by primitive religion.
It was about 600 years ago when confucianism was accepted in Korea from china. From that time, Buddhism had lost their influence. So Buddhist temples are very important historical relics. To understand Korean culture, it is inevitable to study Buddhism in Korea.
This time I had visited Ma Gok Sa temple not far from my office. They told Sping season in the temple is really awesome. Any way I had spare time, so I decided to visit there.
It snowed when I visited. The road to the temple was very romantic.
I could enjoy Son behind the trees and mountains.
As walking over the small hill, there stood a small pavilion with snow. It was really awesome.
Passing the pavilion, the road was covered with snow and the streem was frozen. It was really cold.
While I was looking around the temple, I found the brush writings were very impressive. Especially the writings on the board were written in white color.
The style was very unique. It was simple and powerful. It seemed that people who had written those boards was a warrior.
So I took the pics of the writings.
Belows are my collection.
You could understand the differences between the writings.
What do you think about the traditional writings ?
