I celebrated Buddha's Birthday,May 15th at Hwaonsa, a 1,000 yr-old temple in the mountains of Jirisan Nat'l park, located in the Southwestern corner of the country. The temple was beautiful, there was activity and lotus lanterns everywhere, and it was hot.
we didn't stay long, because we were itching to hike. these pics are of the gate guardians of the temple. They supposedly shoo away the evil spirits. In the final picture, he is shooing away Michael, an irish tourist.
