@slowwalker, I see that you are a true Buddhist in the literal sense of the word. It was a strange experience to see Sarira Stupa and Monument in Dogap-sa Temple. The staircases of the stucco in Korea are a symbol of creative architecture. There are so many Sarira pagoda in Dogap-sa Temple. It has amazing patterns embossed.
The common style of the Sarira pagoda in Korea is similar to Buddhist bell. But I could not see those Buddhist bell style of the sarira stupa in this temple.
Yep...you should found best style of Buddhist. Not to see Buddhist bet amazing to me also. Every temples you should posted I've seen. There were I saw Buddhist bell.
These big monument so impressive style indeed & creative productivity of Koreans. If you know can you provide me details why placed in turtle shape monument area. It's powerful stone creation. Better recommendation by you again. Thanks for the details of heritage place.
turtle seems the meaning of long duration.
because people believed the turtle of long live animal
