RE: Sarira Stupa and Monument in Dogap-sa Temple, Korea
@slowwalker,
It's wonderful thing to see Sarira Stupa! In my local vocabulary "Sarira" means Body, so when Monks died (We call as "Apawath wima") their Body burned and Ashes are keeping in that form!
It's amazing to see that huge statue of turtle that used to build for a Sarira Stupa! I think those monks were at higher ranking of Ancient Korea!
That would be a great visit, specially by finding that area and made photography and valuable description!
Thank you very much for sharing these great journey details with us!
Cheers~
Thank you so much
When the body was burned, there could be found some marvelous looking like pearls sometimes. We call it Sarira. Thank you for your explanation
