Travel Notes on Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju: Pray for Good Fortune at the Ancient Temple

#7月好去地方2025 #庆州 When you come to Gyeongju, South Korea, Bulguksa Temple is a thousand-year-old temple that you absolutely cannot miss. This Buddhist temple, which is listed as a World Cultural Heritage, combines the harmony of nature and architecture, and every step and every scene is full of spirituality. As soon as we walked into the mountain gate, we were attracted by the solemn Daeungjeon. There is an exquisitely carved dragon on the temple, but upon closer inspection, it turns out that there is an elephant trunk, which is very interesting. It turns out that this is because Buddhism originated from India, and during the process of being introduced to Korea, it integrated the image of the Hindu elephant god, which resulted in such a special "dragon-elephant combination" design. In addition to appreciating ancient buildings and art, we also participated in two very interesting activities. The first is to touch the golden pig for wealth. There is a golden pig statue in the temple. It is said that touching it can bring wealth and treasure, which attracted many tourists to line up to touch it. The second is to write down your wishes and pray on the tiles. You can buy small tiles, write your wishes on them, and put them in the designated area to add a blessing to your future. This trip to Bulguksa Temple was not only a cultural baptism, but also a spiritual healing. I left with wishes and blessings, and my heart became more at peace.
