Deawoongjeon of Bongeunsa Temple
I decided to see Deawoongjeon, which was right next to Mierukjeon.
Deawoongjeon is the most important building in every temple since it is a hall for the Buddha.
Whole Bongeunsa was under construction. I went into the side yard of Deawoongjeon to avoid the construction scene.
There was a brazier to burn stuff. In Buddhism, ceremonies are held for the dead.
One of the most important ceremonies in Korean culture is for the dead, so memorial ceremony for deceased parents is significant.
The brazier next to Daewoongjeon is to burn the clothes worn by the dead.
Koreans believe that if people burn the dead’s clothes, the dead can wear those clothes in heaven.
In most cases, the brazier is in the corner of the temple.
However, the brazier was right next to Deawoongjeon. It is unusual to see.
Why did people put the brazier right next to Deawoongjeon, unlike most cases?
The patterns of the Deawoongjeon’s windows did not differ much from that of Mireukjeon.
A monk was watching Deawoongjeon at the front gate. It seemed like he came from another temple.
It was also unusual for a monk to tour other temples.
I came closer to see what he was seeing.
A giant dragon was decorated under the eaves of Deawoongjeon.
Since Deawoongjeon burnt down during the Korean war, the decoration of a large dragon can be interpreted as a wish to never go through that tragedy again.
In the temple, a monk was performing the ceremony for the dead.
Koreans hold a ceremony for the souls of their deceased parents every year on the day their parents died.
It is believed that if we prepare good food and perform the ceremony, the souls of deceased parents will come down to earth and eat them.
Ceremony for the dead used to practice in countries with Confucian traditions such as China, Japan, and Korea.
Nowadays, this ceremony is held only in Korea now.
However, the ceremony for the dead is gradually becoming a legacy in Korea, either.
Inside of Deawoongjeon was gorgeous.
Red lotus lanterns were hanged full in Deawoongjeon.
The Deawoongjeon is usually a place for praying for the happiness and luck of the living people, so the lotus lanterns are colorful.
The Buddha statue in front of Deawoongjeon was created after the middle of the Joseon Dynasty.
Buddha statues vary slightly depending on the times.
The Buddha statues, which were made a thousand years ago, had a straight waist and head.
As time passed, the Buddha’s back tilted forward.
Experts interpreted it as a process of development of Buddhist doctrines.
Buddhist doctrines were strict in the early days but became flexible as time passed.

@slowwalker, I can't understand why brazier placed very close to Deawoongjeon. Because Deawoongjeon was very important part of every Korean temples. Koreans had awesome beliefs about after dead. Windows patterns of the Deawoongjeon beautiful to see. The Korean monks also different than our country. I think Ceremony for the dead is traditional thing of there. Wow...red lotus lanterns superior looks giving to the eyes. Inside wooden carvings also awesome. The Buddha statues very similar to us. Brilliant photo shots.
I also wondered why there is a brazier next to Daeungjeon. I'm just guessing there's a particular reason. I'm curious about what the monks in your country look like!
You can see it through below image.

Wow!!! I knew about ancestor worship and respect for parents, but not about burning the clothes of the dead for use in the hereafter.
As you usually do, the photographs express very well the beauty of the temple with its shapes and colors.
Thank you very much for sharing your reviews. I will have to take me some time to review his blog to solve the puzzle in this area and better understand their traditions.
Thank you for reading my reviews! Memorial ceremony has been an important tradition for Koreans because we used to think in the past that spirits of ancestors would care for their descendants!
Amazing to view from from inside and the patterns along there thanks for sharing
Thank you for reading it :)

It is, indeed!!
That is an interesting tradition to burn the clothes of who passed away. From one side that is also good as it must be hard for family to through the clothes away or to see the relatives later wearing the clothes of your parent or close relative. I can remember how angry I was when my my mother gave our father's clothes to his cousin and he try them and appeared in front of us.
The temple looks very inviting and colorful, majestic dragon at the ceiling and such colorful lantern. Beautiful place :)
It must be painful to throw away the clothes or to see the relatives wearing the clothes of the loved one. I'm sorry you had that experience...
Thanks always for reading my reviews!!

On steem?
Self proclaimed community watchdogs are actually hacking and stalking people.
This group https://steemit.com/@steemspeak is ran by https://steemit.com/@fyrstikken, They are hacking people that enter this discord server https://discordapp.com/invite/sqxV63P . Once you are hacked they profile you long enough to know all of your activities. They introduce workplace gangstalking visits and bring it to your attention cleverly and discretly so only you get it. They are very covert and tricky with everthing they say and do in this server. Some claim to have worked for or are working with the FBI and the NSA. Mixed with decomisioned traders and coding criminals, Its a scary mix of creepy people and thier intent is to drive you crazy and deplete everything you have ever aquired in life, even your freedom.
My hacking started with them introducing ransomeware that has options, dump my coin or delete my system drive. They acnowledged this to me in the server as it happened.
This hacking and stalking is done so they can manipulate the target to pump and dump for them. Threating and Making victims wear head phones, so nobody in your household can hear thier dramitization towards you. In 2017 this server was sidemarked as a drama show for entertainment purposes only as en excuse to say whatever they want all the way down to killing a politician. They have a server side command called "hey asshole" making a promt come up instructing everyone to wear headphones. They want everyone wearing headphones so nobody in your vicinity can hear them mess with you. Fystikken says its because of "mic feedback" but once your a target you get exactly why they make eveyone wear headphones.
With headphones on they subliminally direct victims with very low suggestive whispers mixed into their radio shows music. Combine this with them being able to manipulate their own individual outputs sound volume, which they control on the server side, they can pick what individual people hear and what at any given time. They decide who you hear on the server and change the volume controls for them. They can make some really low or off for those trying to investigate. They control who hears what and know who is who.
This team will find absolutely everything they can about you prior to using thier sugjestive and threatning program. They Introduce pictures that mean something only to the target, inducing paranoia while they watch and listen thru all of your circumvented devices. They are very aware of what makes you tick. They know your work schedule and use it for work stalking along side of this. I received multiple threating letters to my work and home addressed to my screen name from this group.
Fyrstikken tells people to sell their houses to buy crypto then dumps it on them. He has done many pump and dump scams. Quatloo being one of the first I witnessed and was done multiple times thru 2016 and 2017 them. It should be investigated for fraud. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=655793.0
