Korea Sparkling

The Welcoming Way of the Monks

Tuesday, December 15, 2009 - - 0 Comments


The friendly monks at Jeondeung-sa Temple may invite you to share a vegetarian meal with them or guide you to some of the remaining Tripitaka Koreana sculptural wood blocks carved during the 13th century. It took 16 years to carve the Buddhist scriptures on these blocks, a monumental task done in hopes of preventing a consuming Mongol invasion.
