You could find a steep steps In Korean Buddhist temple easily.
I complained about steep steps in Buddhist Temple.
It was because old aged people visited the Buddhist temple more than younger persons.
Buddhism in Korea is turning into the old people’s religion.
So it looked dangerous when I saw old people up and down a steep steps.
I took this photo in Soo Deok Sa temple.
People bent down their head to watch their steps.
One day I asked the reason why the steps in temple was steep.
A monk answered the reason why.
There was a special intention of making a steep steps.
It was forcing people to focus on walking the steps.
Concentrate what you are doing is one of the most important teaching of Buddha.
Before praying to Buddha, you need to concentrate your mind.
Concentration is seemed as if a process of purification of one’s soul.
Actually, concentration is not only the first entrance but also the last exit in Buddhism.
The most difficult thing in our life is concentration.
My mind is full of worry
I know my mind is always fluctuating from here to there
When I have a dinner, I worry about tomorrow’s work in office.
In the office, I think how to enjoy this weekend.
It means that I am not own my mind and myself completely.
If I were owner of my self, I could control my mind.
But in my life, I couldn’t ’ve controlled my mind as I wanted.
Do you control your self ?
Not ?
Then I recommend to walk to the steep steps.
But be cautions.
It seems so very obvious reason to make the steps steep .
you can imagine how diligent they are in worshiping to fulfill the call of the creator. it is a very self-serving act and always thankful to the creator. truly a very persevering culture of faith. i like your post. i always follow you.
Your post very interesting.
Really like it
It seems to be allegory; it holds strong meaning to life. You have really impact to me great information to success in life. Life is the act of focusing and the mind is the controller. What you did not add is how to stay focus. I will be pleased with that. Thank you
Great work fraind...
Beautiful Post well done
Very nice photos!
Nice concept for step steps.
Beautiful place to visit my friend thanks for sharing @slowwalker
It was a very steep staircase. Make us to concentrate. Thanks for sharing @slowwalker
I don’t really concentrate when I’m walking, let alone walking on steps. It’s when I lose concentration when I’m crossing the road that is dangerous. Because my mind is always full of worry about the present and future. But I guess Buddha is right when, talking about about concentrating on what you are doing right now. I guess it’ll probably save my life one day.
you are right , Concentration is very important in our life , i also should learn to concentrate what i am working on , so try to be the owner of myself , thanks your post !
Beautiful place to visit!
Your post very interesting.Thank you. followed you

Everyone has the ability to control there own life. However, you cant do control things around you. Since they are part of your life weather you like it or not, you should adopt it if you want to survive and move forward. Therefore, that teaching is hard to achieve but you can if talk about steep steps. But life us more complicated than that.
Me encanto el mensaje, en realidad la vida es el presente!
Nice preechings of Lord Buddha.. Concentration of mind is very essential for a work to be accomplished .. Beautiful pictures taken of the Buddhist temple..
This is why I like skateboarding. While you skate you have to concentrate on the trick that you are doing so much that everything else is forgotten at the moment. It clears the mind. Skateboarders are modern monks :)
Interesting thought, I have to admit set very often I'm not concentrated or focused myself.
What do I have to do next, after finishing this task? There is often something very different in my mind as it should be.
Probably, if you really enjoy what you're doing right at the moment, then your full concentration is focussed on this action.
Maybe time for me to climb some temple stairs myself. Luckily I don't have to look so far, here in Japan I can find heaps of them
yes, i do agree with you. in my opinion it is because the located on the hill, isn't it? @slowwalker
I believe life is too short I understand that we worry about every little thing. But you have to take it one day at a time and always be positive. When I am worried I just pray God helps me. You have my vote
in order for nothing to happen on the rise of the old man on the stairs, the stairs should be lower @slowwalker.
concentration is most important thing and lord Buddha temple is that place where we really get peace and we feel that we are in different word. i feel this thing while i visit in sri lanka.

slowwalker, outstanding post. This makes me want to go see a buddhist temple. following upvoted and resteemed.
nice concepts for steep steps
A ice understanding, I am beginning to control myself. I have been trying properly for around seven years now and improving every day :)
self control is really important actually :)
I would never have given that a thought, but, when you said it, it makes perfect sense! I have also been on the path of the steep steps, of late to Mayan temples in Mexico or Central America. Hindsight tells me that even though I am not aged, I also concentrated on my feet, so as not to misstep. The stairs have uneven places where the stones do not lay flat.
I have taken to meditating, training my brain to become blank and open.
Thank you for your post. Upped an Steemed

Now I know the real reason of steep steps like this thanks to you mate! This is so true that when you walk on a steep step, you definitely have to concentrate on your step!
I simply love your articles, what great content and quality of posting you offer the community here on Steemit and abroad.
Thanks a lot :)
@slowwalker "Before praying to Buddha" what kind of buddhism was it? I thought zen is the most popular in Korea, and they surely do not pray to Buddha.
Anyway very nice post. I'm also a (rather casual) buddhist, so it will be nice to follow you :)
Concentration is the most important skill that leads to success! Thank you for your thoughts and wonderful journey with you @slowwalker!
Thanks for sharing @slowwalker. I am putting on my list to visit @dorotea.
