 : Short visit... I should have more time. I missed...

 Returning


: Yes, nowadays, more people come here with a car. I don't think that is a good thing. We have to protect environment as much as we can do.



I returned in the way that I came


Tongdo Fantasia



And cherry blossom




Tongdo Fantasia, wheeling slowly. I heard people crying...

 Tongdosa....


: Using this historical place, someone wanted to make lots of money... The desire and greed fucked up the good place. It's very common in modern society, especially in Korea. The Tongdo Fantasia is the result of their greed. 

 If they only focus on the making money, they are going to lose visitors in the end. 

 

 Eventhough, I appreciate the keeping....history.

 : Tongdosa has many aspects. It also has some commercial traits. It's a little bit disappointing. Even though there are many visitors.

: The value, it's harder to keep it than to make. Yes, this is the reason the upper class endeavours to keep their wealth.

 : I could see a wise choice they made at Tongdosa. They choose to preserve as it was, not to decorate them for appearance.

 Keeping the old


: I could feel the old. I thank for their decision. 



Building embraced the history

 : The budhism is the most old religion in Korea. It deep rooted in Korean life and even thoughts. And the many temples in Korea are inevitable. They are usually located in a secular good place with nature..

 

 Because of the temples, we could preserve the Nature better. The representative cultural heritages in Korea are usually related with budhism such as, Seokgulam, Bulkuksa and so on...

 Finally arrived at the temple


: Spring came to Tongdosa. It was pleasant day of a spring in Korea. Lots of visitors came here.

: An irony. People gather here with a wish but Budhism teaches us not to have any desire. How ironic it is....
