RE: Entrance to the Bongensa temple, The Meaning of the Name.
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I did not know that Seoul was initially smaller place that is why seeing the temples in nowadays city I was wondering why they are build so close together. But now it is clear that it is due to growth of the city. When I think back about Monasteries in Europe they are also located on outskirts but many of them today also sharing a city with modern life. Especially we can see often nun riding bicycles that looks really unusual.
The paintings on wooden doors are very well preserved, I like the pigment of painting they are still very intense and the images so lively. The weather looks beautiful and sunny. Probably some children decided to share a drink with a monk :)

You're right! Seoul initially had been small, but the city expanded its boundaries as it developed. I've never known that Monasteries in Europe is also sharing a city. Monasteries and temples have more similarities than I noticed. It is good to know. Thank you!
You are welcome, I think next time I have to choose on of the monasteries in our hometown to paint :)
