The one of my acquaintance told me that SSang Gye Sa near my office was very famous for it’s beauty of the main praying building. And I was told that building was designated as the national treasure.
I was wondered that I didn’t know there was such a nice temple near my office. I have stayed in this area for 3 years. My hobby is looking around beautiful and nice historic places. Of course, there are lots of place where I couldn’t visit yet. But I’ve thought I know where the nice places are.
It was first time I heard that name of temple. So I decided to visit that day I heard about the temple.
It took an hour from my office to the temple. The weather was fantastic. Even before I entered into the temple, the autumn scenery made me amazing.
The entrance was so beautiful. The trees made me recollect my hometown.
By the the road to the temple, there was a reservoir having the mood of the autumn. The water of reservoir was reflecting the color of mountain and the trees. The water was also holding the autumn.
As soon as passing the reservoir, there were stone monument of the monks. There are always the stone monuments at the entrance of the temple. This monument is the kinds of cemetery for the monk. Each monument has one people’s fierce story and history for finding a road to the real truth.
In many case, there was not written on the monument name of owner.
After looking that monument, I could see a main gate faraway .
There were no several gates to the temple like 4 heaven kings door. There was the main gate at the end of the road. The name of this temple was written at the front board of second floor.
The name of this temple was Ssang Gye Sa. It meant that ‘2 valley temple’
There are another temple of the same name which is more famous than this one.
I saw the main building of the temple which was designated as a national treasure. It was magnificent. It was the one of the best temple I have ever seen.
It seemed that other buildings had been destroyed except this main building.
I took several shots of the main building and scenery around the temple.
It was so amazing that I didn’t want hurry to take the photos of the main building.
