Hidden in the Korean mountains, the Haeinsa Temple is a haven for anyone.
The wooden blocks date back to the 13th century, and the temple complex itself even to the 9th. Combined with its magnificent location in the mountains, it makes for an impressive visit! When I was there, it was winter and mountain tops in the neighbourhood were white with snow. It was a quiet day, nearly no visitors, and the temple, the mountains, the sunny weather and the silence gave an immense sensation of peace. That peace was interrupted once by some monks who had to have a picture with me, and a lot of giggling went on when they actually managed to take it. Once again, I cursed myself for not knowing enough about these beautiful temples and the meaning of all the objects I saw.
