Sin Reuk Sa temple was very unique in its structural formation.
It was composed of the various religious thought, Taoism and Confucianism.
In Choson dynasty, the influence from Confucianism was inevitable, because Confucianism was the idealogical basis in Choson dynasty.
So, the style of the monuments in the temple was deeply influenced by Confucianism.
The garden on the ground could be said to be influenced from Confucianism.
There was a juniper tree beside the main building of this temple, Geuk Lak Bo Jeon.
The Juniper tree was unexpected for me to see in the temple.
This tree was considered as the representative garden tree of Confucian study facilities.
After the funeral, some of clothes must be fired in the corner of Jijan Jeon Hall in Korea.
Firing the clothes is the ceremony for affording the clothes to the dead.
What I saw impressive was the Buddha statue near Jijang Jeon Hall.
This statue seemed to be made for the last ceremony for Buddhist funeral.
It seemed that statue was built in near past.
An expressionless face of Buddha was so impressive for me.
Its lack of expression seemed to tell there was no difference between living and dead.
There was no 4 Heaven Kings gate in this temple, but there were painted gates with 4 Heaven Kings instead.
