While looking around the temple, I found out the steps on the rock.
So I climbed up and there I saw the nice panorama.
It was really nice, in such a large city of Seoul, it was not easy to enjoy this panorama.
There was a small place for the plants that monks seemed to cultivate.
In Buddhism, Working is very important mean for self enlightenment.
Many great monks were working on the field even at the very last moment of their lives.
There was a Buddhist saying “No Work, No food”
It was a surprise for me to find out the cave on the rock.
At first time, I though it was made for the religious reason to make Buddha Statue. But soon, I noticed this cave was made as a bomb shelter under the Imperial rule of Japanese.
The small Buddha statue was placed at the beginning of the cave.
I was curious what forced them to make this tunnel.
I walked into the cave, it was very well made.
The cave was not long, I could reach the other side of the tunnel and see the light. The light looked like a symbol of a hope in our lives. It was a really something.
I was very amazed that the entire city of Seoul actually has bomb shelters built into the ground level of many places, and it is really giant subterranean web or tunnel of shelters.
I was amazed, but given their history with their neighboring countries, I think they have guarded themselves well against the forces.
I have never seen a country so well prepared!

@slowwalker,
The last photography of that cave is pretty amazing! I had that type of experience in my life and yeah it's memorized!
Cheers~
Wow look at the the Rock of Ahn Yang Am of Changsindong, I Mean the way such amazing existence was carved into a rock is more than amazing really, look at that view, wow I loved the picture you took while you walked into the cave, it's amazing, well done
An intriguing post, @slowwalker - the importance of work.
You may be surprised to learn that the Buddhist saying is an almost verbatim restatement of a passage in the New Testament - 2 Thessalonians 3:10 : if any would not work, neither should he eat.
Saint Paul goes on to remind believers not to be idle and wait for the Return of the Lord but to busy themselves with their hands ( He himself was a tent maker)
The air raid shelter was poignant especially the Buddha statue outside the entrance - it's sad when we have to take shelter from the inhumanity of man.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel though and until we achieve that we should occupy and stand our ground busying ourselves with whatever comes to hand. Man is by nature meant to work and create and this in itself is a redeeming task.
Have a good day, my friend
Nice to have a watch of korea in your eyes.
