The Scenery of Whaeom-sa Temple. One of the Best Place in Korean Temples.
Jirisan mountain is said mother of the mountains. It is not so high, but it is very wide. So it embraces everything, even temple.
I am still remembering the feeling when I saw this temple first. It was more than 35 years ago.
At that time, I was young and adventurous. I climbed and crossed over Jirisan mountain.
At that time, It was a kind of a ceremony among youngsters of my ages.
The reason of the beauty in Whaeom-sa temple is this temple was embrace by Jirisan mountain, in my thought. If there were no jirisan mountain, Whaeom-sa temple would not be pride of its grandiose appearance. The main temple building is not so wide, but it seemed to have some spiritual power.
As passing by the monks’ residence place, I could meet the attractions of the temples.
Below are the my first impression with the photographies.
