Hope for peace of mind in the temple.

Over the last 2,000 years, various religions have come to Korea and have developed amazingly. Koreans seem to have a tendency to pay attention to the spiritual world. It is rare for countries with such diverse and many religious facilities.
One of Korea's representative religions is Buddhism. Christianity is about 200 years old, but Buddhist history is almost 2,000 years.

Buddhism emphasizes restrained life. Temperance is not simply prohibiting any activity.
By not overtaking some cautions, they are trying to gain peace of the future.


Even if you are not a Buddhist, when you go to a quiet Buddhist temple, you can get peace of mind even for a short time.
In most cases, the famous temple is located far away from Seoul. I found a temple nearby using a map. It is located in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do.
The homepage introduces himself as "the garden of the Buddha".
Here is the homepage link of the temple.

There is no admission fee.
It is near from Seoul.
It is a very well-kept garden.
There are good sounds intoning a Buddhist script.

At the entrance, there is a golden Buddha, which is often encountered when you go to the temple.
I do not know why they decorate Buddha with gold.

Behind the Golden Buddha, there is a clear space for rest.
Sit on the bench in the resting place and look forward, the relaxing landscape spreads out.

It is a good thing to have a rest area. It is a service suitable for Buddhist park.
There are many things to see in this section. The most notable of these is the landscape.
While relaxing people's minds, there are many things to see.
This temple seems to be prepared for visitors, not Buddhist performers.

In order to obtain the stability of mind, various methods that people have come up with are found here.
There are small tickets hanging on the tree with hope in mind.
There are living turtles, Buddhist statues and towers of various shapes.
All of this shows that people have a lot of aspirations.

Look at the 500 Buddha's disciples around the Buddha. They are peaceful people who have broken the world's troubles.
What do people think and feel when they look at them? I came near and saw them.

There was a coin on the head of some disciples. A person who strongly prayed for something would have put it on.
Is his desire liberated from pain? Or is it hope?

Tiles are piled up here and there, recording people's wishes.
On top of that tile, people put small stones.
Those little stones are also people's wishes.
Looking at them, I can feel that many people have a desire.
It is a garden of Buddha, and also a gathering place for people's aspirations.
I put a little stone there.
I also put a small desire there.
