Bongeunsa

aluinal

It’s hard not to be attracted to temples. Bongeunsa is a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in the middle of Gangnam, a super trendy, expensive part of Seoul (made famous by THAT song).

A sanctuary of calm in a fast-paced city, we lit candles in memory of those lost, and for troubles faced elsewhere.

We visited on our first trip, and will most certainly return on our next.

We were lucky enough to witness a monk performing a ritual involving the drum, bell, fish, and gong. Each represents a natural element, and the ritual helps guide souls towards nirvana.
