Bulguksa Temple

While in Gyeongju we went to the Bulguksa Temple. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was built in the year 751. It was very beautiful.

This is the main stairway to the temple. It has 33 steps to symbolize the 33 heavenly worlds of Buddha. We could not walk up them, we had to use a side enterance.


This was one of the gaurdians on the way into the temple.

There was a huge park like area around the temple. There were plenty of blossoming trees around.


Here is a close up of the blossoms. I love the cherry blossoms! We need these trees all of Wisconsin!


In the temple was an area where people built prayer rock piles. I built one too.
