I was fascinated by how all the statues have a different significance, having to do with an event in the life of the buddha. All carry an important message or at the very least, a lesson. It is my understanding that there are over 100 poses and each pose has a distinct hand placement.

The culture of Korea is very difficult to unmask, even with the internet, so I am glad I had the opportunity to experience it myself. Thank you for taking the time and effort to revisit and chronicle these.

As always, a nice day to you.
