Last weekend, we ventured into Busan to visit Beomeosa Temple. It was Alyssa's first temple visit ever and Ben's first in Korea. Beomeosa was originally built in the early 1600s; Beomeo is Korean for the "Nirvana Fish" that was believed to live in the Sacred Natural Spring in the mountains surrounding the temple. A very large percentage of Koreans are Buddhist and many of the buildings were being used for prayer and meditation by visitors and monks. The scenery was beautiful and these pictures do not do it justice, but hopefully you enjoy them nonetheless.
