The Gate At The End Of The Road And It's Meaning
Finally I arrived at the last gate to the temple.
The name of that gate was “il joo moon”
Il joo moon means one column of pillars.
It seems that there is "Il joo moon" in almost of Buddhist temples.
I don’t know why they have built one column of gate in Buddhist temple.
Inside of the gate was so impressive.
Those structures were made for supporting the weigh of the roof.
There were the carvings of the dragons inside of the gate
There were two stone sculptures of animal
It looks like a monkey.
Why did they carve the monkey statues in front of the gate ?
Interesting thing is there was another road to enter into the temple without passing through the gate.
If they made an another road detouring the gate, why did they make the gate ?
I suppose there must be some meaning of Buddhist theory in making the road and the gate together.
Buddhism looks like a religion of the metaphor.
The design of this temple is mysterious and provokes wonder about its meaning. Perhaps this in itself is sufficient.
We all seek out sacred spaces, even inside ourselves. We deal in metaphors because we can't quite grasp life's enigmas.
The great American writer, Thoreau, once wrote:
“Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones."
Buddhism is a religion of metaphors, as is every belief - as is our daily experience of living.
Have a good day, my friend.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment
Yeah, it's quite spooky and mysterious. But nice pic!
Every religion has its secrets ..... and its ways of revealing them
That was something intricate by workmanship @slowwalker because the roof was quite a bit heavy, they need to make a good support for it. The place was really beautiful and can be a subject for a painting because of the colors in and around the temple with it varying hues. The place gives the visitor something to think about too on how things are built with its statues and design.
Thank you cryptopie
Inspiring and beaautiful. Thanks.
We have the tradition that not all the people Are allowed to pass the front door to enter a temple. maybe that is why it has side door.
