RE: The Perfect Trace of the Eternal Love, Ghilasangsa Buddhist Temple 1

in #culture7 years ago

Another lovely post, @slowwalker, continuing the saga of Kim Hanyoung and the Poet, Baek Seok.

I found it interesting that the part of the temple dealing with the afterlife, The Jijangjeon, was named Paradise and that right across the road from this temple was a shrine for Kim Hanyoung.

I agree with you that she probably hoped to be re-united with Baek Seok in Paradise.

I also thought it interesting that this lovely Geisha became a specialist in English Literature and wrote many academic papers. It seems she devoted her life to Baek Seok, even pursuing his interests.

The photos were lovely, @slowwlker, and you managed to capture the air of mystery surrounding this pair of star-crossed lovers.

A beautiful post, my friend.
