RE: Pattern of Mireukjeon And Autumn Sunlight

Does this building have two names alluding to Buddha? Very curious.
With all due respect, I understand that the dominant religion in South Korea is Christianity, closely followed by Buddhism. That's how it is?

Buddhism originated in India and Christianity in Rome. Does South Korea have its own religion? In my case, I live in South America where there has been an amalgam of European and Middle Eastern culture, the indigenous culture is becoming extinct every day.

In that sense, I think the world is getting smaller every day, imagine in 100 years. The modern world will gradually encircle ancient buildings and traditions, endangering cultural and aesthetic heritage.

Thank you for your valuable reports, they leave me a lot to think about in addition to appreciating their well-made photographs, in this case, seeing certain patterns in the temples.

Religions in Korea are related to the political situation because Korean Christianity was introduced in the process of modernization! Buddhism symbolizes tradition, and Christianity symbolizes reform in Korea. Thank you for your comment! Have a nice day :)
