Mrs. Kim took all of us teachers to Heinsa (a temple about 45 minutes from Daegu) and let us walk around. This temple stores a set of wooden prints for the Buddhist scriptures. Once a year people go to the temple and perform a ceremony where they carry each of the thousands of wooden slats on their heads around the temple grounds for hours to dry them out. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, the bus driver wouldn't let us walk . . . I'm not sure why. (?)
wow. these are so ornate. colorful. and dreadfully evil.
