RE: Inside View of Dae Wung Jeon of Baek Ryeon Sa in Gang Jin of Jellanamdo Province in Korea

A very colourful Buddhist hall, @slowwalker.

It is unusual to see such elaborate ornamentation in such a tiny space but one must be careful not to despise the day of small things.

There's an old Zen saying I'm sure you know, "Do not become so accustomed to images that you are dismayed by the true dragon."

These dragons that we meet in halls and caves are metaphors for ourselves and despite the colourful ornamentation we are struck with wonder and terror at encountering such presences.

That is the basis of all guardian entities, my friend.

Have a good day, @slowwalker :)
