The magnificent autumn foliage at Gilsangsa.
It is autumn season again and we came back to Gilsang-sa, a temple located at Seongbuk-gu near Hansung University. Opened in 1997, this temple is one of the best places to have a nature walk and enjoy an abundance of serenity. This temple is the residence of the late Zen Master Bopjong who practiced musoyu, which means non-possession. It is a temple of the Jogye Order sect. This temple is open to all visitors, and those who want to sign up for meditation courses, Buddhism classes, and temple stays can also apply through the portal. This temple is one of the best places to view autumn foliage and is less touristy compared to many other places.
