Outside of Geuk Lak Bo Jeon Hall in Mu Wi Sa Temple

It looked like humble building at first look, but this building seemed to have a great beauty and history.

Mu Wi Sa temple would’ve been more than 1300 years old. Interest thing was there was no record that this temple had been fired during the wars through a long history.

If this temple did not suffer the catastrophe, then Geuk Lak Bo Jeon Hall would be the oldest wooden building in Korea.

Geuk Lak Bo Jeon Hall was serving for Amitabha Buddha in Buddhist paradise. I could not enter into the inside of the hall, because some kinds of family ceremony was undergoing in the hall.
I could not disturb their ceremony.

At first I looked around outside of the hall. The drainage system around the hall was similar to that of Su Deok Sa case which was believed to be built in Goryeo dynasty.

And the foundation stone structures were as same as that of Su Deok Sa Dae Wung Jeon.

The bottom of Geuk Lak Bo Jeon was covered with the tiles which symbolized the ground of Buddhist paradise.
The Buddhist paradise ground was believed to paved with the bleu Jade.
