Last week I accompanied our local photo club on a photo walk to Gakwonsa Temple in Cheonan. As a Christian, visits to temples do nothing for me spiritually. That said, I do enjoy the beauty and detail of these ancient buildings (Gakwonsa is not an old temple, however) and the wonder of God’s landscape that surrounds them. Here is a peek into South Korea’s second largest Buddhist temple.

Ceiling tiles that you can buy and then write your name on to place along the wall. I believe the proceeds go to upkeep of the temple and grounds
