Dongwhasa Temple

All of these pictures are from around, and inside Dongwhasa Temple. This temple holds the tallest Buddha statue in South Korea. It was also the weekend right after Buddha's birthday, so there were thousands of lanterns in honor of Buddha. Dongwhasa Temple is just outside Daegu, about an hour bus ride from Dongdaegu train staion.


This is outside Dongwhasa temple where you get off the bus.

 

Guardians inside the gate of the temple complex.

They are supposed to scare bad spirits away, my coteacher told me.
