Daewung-Jeon Of Naeso-sa Temple

The most important building in Buddhist temple is Daewung-Jeon which is the praying place for Buddha.
As I told in previous posting, Naeso-sa temple was built in Baekje Dynasty, but it was fired at 1597 by Japanese Invaders.

It was regrettable that there were not a building in Korea which had been built in Baekje dynasty.

Even The Daewung- jeon was reconstructed in Choson Dynasty after the destroy during the Japanese Invasion.

So this building was known for the representative architecture of Choson Dyanasty.
The architecture in Choson dynasty had showed its natural beauty.

The twisted pillars of building and not mended cornerstones were representative style in Choson Dynasty.
It looked tough at first glance, but you might have question how they had built those large scale of building without any standard materials.

The building itself was so modest in Choson Dynasty Buddhist Temple. The only way they could decorate temple was the splendid patterns of the windows.

The Buddha sculptures and the paintings behind the Buddha in Daewung-Jeon were designated as the National treasury. So it was banned to photo. I had some photos taken from far distance.

Inside of Daewung-Jeon also was well-decorated with various colors and carvings of dragon.

The Deployment of the buildings in Naeso-sa temple was well balanced.
This balance seemed the key guiding us to the peaceful atmosphere.
