The Stone Pagoda and The Buddha Carving on the Surface of the Rock in Ssang Gye Sa Temple
What I saw in front of Dae Wung Jeon in Ssang Gye Sa temple was the pagod which seemed to be made in the Goryeo dynasty. As estimating the period of being built, it seemed to be strong connection with the Mongolian Invasion. Mongolians created the Yuan Won dynasty in China. And the Buddhism in the Yuan dynasty seemed to be deeply influenced by the Buddhism in Tibet.
The pagoda was very high and it was not easy to take the photo of it in one shot without the distortion of the image.
There were other pagodas in other temples which were similar to this pagoda.
Besides the Dae Wung Jeon, there was the carved Buddha relief on the rock.
In general, it seemed to be made in late Goryeo dynasty.
The carving skill was not deliberate. It seemed that ordinary people carved this relief.
In Goryeo dynasty, local people began to made their statues by themselves without the support of the central government.
@slowwalker,
The last photography of craved stone statue, like you said it seems like ordinary people did it. But they carved it so well! Great photography and I like those colors of the building! It seems so amazing!
Cheers~

I was always amazed by such pagodas.
They are very original and each is good in its own way.
Thank you very much for the beautiful photos
and interesting description, dear @Slowwalker .
I once saw a beautiful pagoda in Elista. And like in Korea, not seen anywhere else.
It's called the pagoda of 7 days.
