21 May 2010 at Beomeosa (Temple of the nirvana Fish)

on May 21st, 2010 I went to Beomeosa Temple, at Busan, South Korea. That day was celebrated as Budha's Birthday.

In Korea, this day is called 석가탄신일 (Seokga tansinil), meaning "the day of Buddha's birthday" or 부처님 오신 날 (Bucheonim osin nal) meaning "the day when Buddha arrived".

Lotus lanterns cover the entire temple throughout the month which are often flooded down the street.

Beom(범;梵) = nirvana - eo(어;魚) = fish - sa(사;寺) = temple.[1] Thus the name of the temple came to be ＂Heavenly Fish.＂ It is also claimed that the fish came from Nirvana, the Buddhist state of non-suffering. Therefore the temple also became known as ＂The temple where fish from Nirvana Play.＂

Beomeosa Seven Story Stone Pagoda is relatively recent addition and contains a Sari of theBuddha. The four corners of the base of the pagoda are guarded by stone sculptures of the Four Heavenly Kings. Beomeosa's museum sets behind the pagoda.

Beomeosa's second gate, Beomeosa Cheonwangmun, or Gate of the Four Heavenly Kingswas originally built in 1699 and houses the four kings or divas guarding the entrance to the temple.

we will come again next time,...

Budha's birthday festival..at Beomeosa

Hari itu sebenernya kami berencana pergi ke Gyoung Ju, sebuah kota tua peninggalan Dinasty Silla, yang berjarak kurang lebih 1,5 jam dari terminal bis Nopodong, Busan. Karena, menurut kalender Korea, tanggal 21 Mei lalu adalah hari kelahiran Budha, dan hari disebarkannya agama Budha. Kabarnya, di Gyoung-Ju akan ada Festival menarik. Lagipula, menurut ramalan cuaca, hari itu akan cerah. Hari yang baik untuk jalan-jalan, hehe...

Tapi, apa mau dikata.. orang bilang kalau punya mau pergi, lebih baik mendadak, karena kalau direncanakan, tiba2 ada hal mendadak yang membuat rencana batal.. hehe.

Salah satu teman kami, Dominik, harus bermain Volley di Haeundae, pantai populernya Busan. Akhirnya, rencana kami pun berubah, setelah ikut berpartisipasi mendukung Dominik main, dan ikutan main di pantai (tentu saja), kunjungan festival dirubah jadi menuju Beomeosa.
