Daesoonjinrihoe Temple in Yeoju, Korea

Bonggangjeon:A Building to Receive the Highly Spiritual Energy

Bonggang means humans receiving the highly spiritual energy (氣 Chi) from heaven. This building was served as 'Bonjeon' until the construction of current one.

It is a 4-story building with a look of 3-stories outside, and enshrines Gucheonsangje, Okwangsangje and Sakyamuni as the prime godship including 28 deities (who are in charge of 28 directions in the universe), 24 deities (who are in charge of 24 divisions of a year), and other deities.

Right in front of 'Bonggangjeon' are some stone statues of a pair of candlesticks, a pair of haetae (a mythical unicorn lion), and incense burner, and in the front yard there are a fountain, a pair of stone lanterns, and another pair of haetae statues.

Worth visiting near Daesoonjinrihoe temple complex in Yeoju, Korea

 

  The temple complex of Daesoonjinrihoe in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province, Korea

is noted for its gorgeous ethnic structures and the ambient beautiful scenery. Gangcheonbo Weir is about twenty minutes' walk away from Daesoonjinrihoe temple. Daesoonjinrihoe members often visit here for a walk or a diversion and it is a bikers' attraction as well. I also do like  strolling around there.

I post here some of the pictures of Gangcheonbo Weir in the splendor of the setting sun.​
