@slowwalker,
I like your interpretation of the architecture and the statues inside of the Daejang-Jeon building! Ancient artists tried to give a meaning and lesson through their artworks!
In Sri Lanka we have slightly different believes about the after life! Coz in Theravada Buddhism it interpret in little different way! But after all we both are waiting to see Maitryee Buddha in our next life!
Great journey and great findings! Thank you very much for the effort you put on these series of articles!

Cheers~
