Child Monk Statue and Curved Line of the Building in Gaesim-sa Temple
The Child monk statue near the pond was so impressive.
There were lots of children monk statue in other temples. But unlike those statues in other temples, this statue was very serious in meditation.
Just looking at this serious meditation statue made my mind peaceful. I could’ve shared the feeling of peace with the statue. I mean, it’s like that I could receive mysterious energy from the serious statue.
As walking to the entrance of the temple, there was a pavilion for the bell.
This pavilion was very interesting, its pillars were bending. It seemed not easy to maintain the balance and to sustain the weight of the roof. It looks strange though, this pavilion with bending pillars made me very peaceful.
The curved line could be said as the most important characteristic in Korean traditional architecture. I could find other curved lines among the buildings in this temple as below.
these crooked wooden pillars that hold a roof straight are simply amazing. ... also the statue is very suggestive

The child monk was very impressive a statue but my breath was taken away at the sight of Fig 3, 4 and 5 as their colorful nature actually brought peace to me the viewer. This is amazing, thanks for sharing . You’re much appreciated
Great photos, they perfectly convey the beauty of this place. The sculpture of a meditating child is really impressive.:
One could say that they knew to take advantage of the imperfections of the materials that they used for those structures and that no matter how they looked they achieved the objective, besides the colorful ones that are some structures! Thank you for sharing these photos with us
