Songgwangsa Temple the 3 most important treasures of Buddhism
An amazing place where when the sound of the water makes you forget everything, you enter an incredible peace.
I did not think about the meaning of this current in the Songgwangsa temple.
I could not imagine the meaning of the current at the point of Architecture.
At a glance you can see the entrance by the bridge and listen to the route of that tranquilizer water.
This bridge building is well done and stops having some kind of meaning.
In my opinion, the current seems a metaphor for the border between the sacred and the secular world.
When my thinking reached this point, everything close to the current seems to have a specific meaning in Buddhism in my mind.
The bridge building is the only place to cross the stream from there to the temple area.
The pavilion over the stream seems to have some kind of meaning, like looking at the secular world from the Buddhist paradise.
In my point of view, the most impressive part of this architecture are the buildings along the stream.
Songgwangsa is a temple that is located in the east of Mount Jogyesan, famous in Korea for the "Sambosachal". Sambo means the 3 important treasures of Buddhism that are the Bulbo, Byeopbo, Seungbo. Among these three treasures, Songgwangsa is listed as a Seungbo temple, which refers to the student who practices and studies the Buddha's teachings. The reason that Songgwangsa was determined as a Seungbo temple is because of this place many illustrious monks came out.
It is a great place to go to find that inner peace that we long for.
