At the Entrance of Cheongryongsa Temple in Seoul Metropolitan

Strangely enough, I didn’t know there are so many temples in the center of Seoul Metropolitan. They are not so big as the temples I have introduce you up until now in Steemit. But they have old history.

As passing through the headquarters there was a temple in the name of Cheongryongsa temple by the road. It looked very old at a glance.

The name Cheongryong means ‘Blue dragon’, actually in Korean traditional belief, Cheonryong means Water. In Yin Yang philosophy, blue means Yin.

This temple was managed by nuns.

There were no gates in this temple like in other temples. Instead the gates, Heven Kings were drawn on the gate of One Pillar gate.

It seemed that this temple had suffered difficulties taken through long history.
It barely seemed to preserved its old shape.

The one pillar gate in the center of Seoul was very impressive. Originally, the one pillar gate means the boundary between the temple and the secular world. In this city the boundary between the temple and the secular world was so close.

As passing through the gate, the boards were hung on the wall, on which was written the teachings of Buddhism.

Dae Wung Jeon Hall was located at the other side of the ground. The lanterns were beautiful.
