April 4, 2011 by Yein Jee

Revisiting Wong Tai Sin Temple after three years. WTS is one of the most iconic temples in Hong Kong, famed for “answering” the prayers among believers. A few extra attractions have been added to the temple compound since my 2007 visit, and there’s a lot more worshippers and tourists at the Taoist temple this time…

If you visit a Buddhist temple in South Korea you are likely to see some of these little stone pagodas, stacked randomly by monks or visitor to show appreciation to the land and environment (sort of a spiritual thing)…

I think these days it’s also meant as prayers for good health and luck etc.

Bongeunsa Temple, Seoul, South Korea

March 6, 2010 by Yein Jee

Bongeunsa (봉은사) is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Korea. It’s founded in 794 and gone through difficult times as Buddhism was repressed for a long period in Korean history (it’s now the biggest religion though).

Bongeunsa is also one of the few temples in Seoul that offers short term temple-stay program which is pretty popular among foreigners.
