Look how magnificent the world is! At the peak of my temple tour at the age of 50, I took this photo today at Beomeosa Temple... Busan Geumjeongsan Beomeosa Temple, where I arrived early in the morning, the sunlight sparkling in the Daeungjeon yard is dazzling - the chanting of the Buddha awakens Geumjeongsan Mountain in the morning... Chanting and prayers resonate in each hall of Birojeon, Mireukjeon, Sansingak, and Daeungjeon. The Buddha's Dharma Secret is pouring down, filled with sunlight.... Be sure to include Beomeosa Temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism in Geumjeongsan Mountain on your temple tour. #BusanTravel #Beomeosa #Geumjeongsan

It was not easy to leave Beomeosa Temple, which was lost in its fragrance of a thousand-year-old temple. The hot midsummer sunlight pours down on the courtyard of Beomeosa Temple's Daeungjeon and Jijangjeon... After being half a century since the beautiful thousand-year-old temple, I fell in love with the charm of a mountain temple in Korea... I can now feel the kindness and peace in the smiles of the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and the attendant Bodhisattvas in the Gwaneumjeon Hall. The best part of a temple tour is that you can find your own happiness. I recommend it. You must visit Beomeosa Temple, a mountain temple in Korea, on Geumjeongsan Mountain, the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism... I highly recommend it. #templestay #Beomeosa Temple #Geumjeongsan Mountain #Busan Travel

#We came to Beomeosa Temple, but there were so many forks in the road that we got confused. It took us a long time to find the hottest photo spot😭 If you walk for about 5 minutes from Beomeosa Station, you can take bus number 90. After going uphill and downhill for about 10 minutes, we got off at Beomeosa Ticket Office Station🤩 ⚠️Because it's a mountain, there's a slope, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. If you pass the parking lot ticket office and keep going up, you'll come to the first fork in the road. The left road is a patterned stone road and the right road has a parking lot (I think you have to take the right road to get to the most famous spot right away🥲) We went up the left stone road and climbed a moderate number of stairs, so we saw Beomeosa Temple firstㅎ Those who come here should look at the 'Daeungjeon' first and if you turn right, there's a bamboo forest and a downhill road (I think this road is the right road from before😅) If you go down a little bit of that road, you'll come to the hottest photo spot‼️ The stairs at this place It seems to be connected to the parking lot And there is a photo spot on the left side of Daeungjeon, so please refer to the photo for reference🤗 ✔️#Beomeosa ✔️546 Beomeosa, Cheongryong-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan ✔️5-minute walk from Exit 5 or 7 of Beomeosa Station on Line 1 (Bus stop 90) ✔️Parking available ✔️Temple stay available #Busan #Busan travel #Autumn #Autumn travel #Fall foliage #Autumn foliage #Busan date #Geumjeong-gu #Busan Geumjeong #Beomeosa #Please take care of winter #For couples

[Geumjeong-gu emotional cafe☕️] Beomeosa Cellas💖 This is Cellas, a cafe near Beomeosa Temple in Geumjeong-gu, Busan! It's a building with a white and clean exterior that catches the eye. The interior is also stylish, and the green plants located nearby provide healing. It's also one of my favorite cafes❣️ Cellas has a variety of drinks and desserts, but the menu I always drink whenever I visit Cellas is Cellasgraphy Latte! Cellasgraphy Latte is a bit different from regular lattes because it contains apple cider and cinnamon. The sweet apple cider and the fragrant yet tangy cinnamon flavor go really well with the latte! It went well with the strawberry cake that came out as a new menu last spring, so I ate it deliciously💕 #BusanTravel #Cellus #Cafe #BusanCafe #Beomeosa #Geumjeong-guCafe #BeomeosaCafe #CafeTour #PrettyCafe #EmotionalCafe #Busan #BusanHotPlace #DomesticTravel #YouthTravel #TravelWithUs #I'mHereNow #RomanticEndKing #HotCafe #LifeShotPlace #HappyNewYear

Last time, I missed Beomeosa Temple due to time constraints, so this time I made it a must-visit on my list. According to legend, the temple was built by Master Uisang in the 18th year of King Munmu of the Silla Dynasty. At that time, a well on the mountain ridge emitted golden light, and golden fish played on colorful clouds in the sky, giving the names Geumjeongsan and Beomeosa. During the Japanese invasions of Korea, Beomeosa Temple was burned down. The current buildings were constructed in 1713, and the Daeungjeon Hall and the three-story pagoda are designated as national treasures. Today, Beomeosa is one of the most important Buddhist temples in Korea, belonging to the Jogye Order. The most important part of a temple is the Daeungjeon Hall. With the permission of the temple volunteers, I took a photo of the ceiling. Unlike other temples' Daeungjeon Halls, which usually have octagonal roofs, Beomeosa's Daeungjeon Hall has a gabled roof due to the financial and labor constraints following the Japanese invasions. However, the decorations under the canopy still include auspicious clouds, dragons, and phoenixes, reflecting the historical background behind the simple architecture. Beomeosa Temple oversees ten hermitages on the mountain, with over 200 affiliated temples in total, making it one of the five major temples in Korea. In front of the temple, red and white plum blossoms bloom, emitting a fragrant aroma. During my visit, I noticed many buildings with white cloths indicating that they were off-limits due to ongoing practice. Additionally, after their prayers, some elderly women shared offerings, filling the atmosphere with warmth. 📍Address: 250 Beomeosa-ro, Geumjeong-gu, Busan, South Korea 🚗Take Subway Line 1 to Nopo Station, exit at Exit 2, and transfer to Bus No. 90. After getting off, it's a three-minute walk to the temple.
