Right in the middle of modern Seoul, a Buddhist haven of peace can be found at Jogyesa temple where century-old traditions survive among the fast-paced city life.
After I left my shoes outside and entered the Great Hero Hall, it was difficult to get inside because it was completely packed. People were immersed in prayer, there were speeches, there was applause. My eyes directly caught the three golden images of Buddha: Sakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha and Bhaisaiya Buddha. The former was the original statue; the two others were added only in 2006. Since Sakyamuni is considered a hero by Buddhists, the hall is called Great Hero Hall. It actually is the largest one floor hall building in Korea. Once outside, a fine snow had started to fall on Seoul, but this could not distract the Buddhist Koreans to continue their prayer.
