The whole area of Tongdo-sa temple is said to be divided into 3 parts.
The buildings between the one pillar entrance gate and the Buli-mun gate were belonged to the first area.
From this posting, I’d like to introduce the buildings of second area.
The second area is located between the Buli-mun gate and Daewung-Jeon hall which is the main building in this temple.
In my guess, the halls belonged to the second area are more splendid than others.
The first hall in the second area what I saw first passing through the Buli-mun was Gwaneum-Jeon.
Gwaneum is the Bodhisattva of great compassion.
There was a lantern in front of the hall. It was very impressive. It looked like to be made in the era of Goryeo dynasty.
Usually the stone lantern was set up in front of important buildings.
It seemed that Gwaneum-jeon was the most important building in this area.
The balance of the stone lantern seemed not so excellent to that of Shilla dynasty. It was strange for me.
Gwaneum-Joen hall is said the central building in the second area. Why did they think Gwaneum-jeon hall the most important in this second area ? In my guess, it is because the healing for ordinary people was the most important function in the second area as the first area. They believe that Gwaneum Bodhisattva is listening every voices of people and touch their sufferings with 1000 arms.
This gwaneum-jeon hall looked like to be built in late Goryeo dynasty, but this hall was also fired during the Japanese invasion 1592-1597 and rebuilt.

고려시대 건축물 이라니
아주 오래 되었네요
일제시대 때 해고? 되었다는 것은
그들의 일부를 가져갔다는 것일까요?
번역 글을 읽어서 제가 잘 이해를 못 했을지도 모르겠어요 ㅎㅎ

마지막이 제일 팩트있고 경각심을 가지고 있어야 하는 말인 것 같습니다..
두번다시는 그런 일이 일어나서도 안되고...
역사을 잊어버려서도 안된다는 생각이 드네요..
Beautiful
부산 통도사, 아직 가보진 못했지만 많이 들어본 사찰입니다. 잘 알려진 사찰이지만 올려주신 사진으로 보아서는 화려함보다는 정갈한 아름다움이 있는 것 같습니다.
Indah sekali pemandangannya😙😙
