The Scenery of Daeheung-sa in The Front Yard, Korea.

As passing through the Sarira area, there was a front yard of temple.
The front yard of Daeheung-sa was very special in the style of the garden.

Actually the front yard of the temple was quiet different from that of other temples.
In most of temples, it was not so common that there were the gardens in the front yard.
In many cases the gardens in the Korean traditional architecture was located behind the building.

The front yard was consisted of the pond and the big tree on the hill.

Turning around the pond, I stood in front of the tree.
The tree seemed looked down me like a giant.
It looked like to have lived for several hundred years.

There was a bench under the tree. I sat there and looked around. It was good.
I was little bit hesitated where to go at first.

I used to drop by Daewung-jeon first when visiting the temples, because Daewung-jeon was located in the center of the temple.

But Daewung-jeon was not in the center of the temple.
I walked around several building around the front yard.

And I entered in to one building in the name of Cheonbul-jeon meaning one thousand Buddha statues building.
I could see the Cheonbul-jeon through the wall.

There were one thousand Buddha statues in the building.
I was slowly looking around Cheonbul-geon.
What made people make those 1,000 statues ?
