ReLEx.gifColonial Korea – Ssanggyesa Temple
Ssanggyesa Temple is located in Jirisan National Park in Hadong, Gyeongsangnam-do. The temple was first constructed in 722 A.D., and it was called Okcheonsa Temple. The temple was built after the monks Daebi and Sambeop were instructed by the Jirisan Sanshin (Mountain Spirit) in the form of a tiger to find a valley where arrowroot blossomed throughout the year even during wintertime. Both monks were the disciples of the famed temple building monk, Uisang-daesa (625-702). Finding such a location, they built Okcheonsa Temple. And after returning from China, they buried the skull of the Sixth Seon Patriarch, Huineng (638-713 A.D.), under the main hall. It was later dug up and placed inside a pagoda. It wasn’t until 840 A.D. that the temple was enlarged by Jingam-seonsa (774-850), and its name changed to Ssanggyesa Temple. Ssanggyesa Temple means “Twin Stream Temple” in English for the two streams that flow on either side of the temple grounds. Tragically, and like much of Korea, Ssanggyesa Temple was completely destroyed during the Imjin War (1592-98) by the invading Japanese. It wasn’t until 1632 that the temple was rebuilt.
In total, Ssanggyesa Temple is home to one National Treasure, the Stele of Master Jingam at Ssanggyesa Temple, as well as 9 additional Korean Treasures.
Colonial Era PhotographyIt should be noted that one of the reasons that the Japanese took so many pictures of Korean Buddhist temples during Japanese Colonial Rule (1910-1945) was to provide images for tourist photos and illustrations in guidebooks, postcards, and photo albums for Japanese consumption. They would then juxtapose these images of “old Korea” with “now” images of Korea. The former category identified the old Korea with old customs and traditions through grainy black-and-white photos.
These “old Korea” images were then contrasted with “new” Korea images featuring recently constructed modern colonial structures built by the Japanese. This was especially true for archaeological or temple work that contrasted the dilapidated former structures with the recently renovated or rebuilt Japanese efforts on the old Korean structures contrasting Japan’s efforts with the way that Korea had long neglected their most treasured of structures and/or sites.
This visual methodology was a tried and true method of contrasting the old (bad) with the new (good). All of this was done to show the success of Japan’s “civilizing mission” on the rest of the world and especially on the Korean Peninsula. Furthering this visual propaganda was supplemental material that explained the inseparable nature found between Koreans and the Japanese from the beginning of time.
To further reinforce this point, the archaeological “rediscovery” of Japan’s antiquity in the form of excavated sites of beautifully restored Silla temples and tombs found in Japanese photography was the most tangible evidence for the supposed common ancestry both racially and culturally. As such, the colonial travel industry played a large part in promoting this “nostalgic” image of Korea as a lost and poor country, whose shared cultural and ethnic past was being restored to prominence once more through the superior Japanese and their “enlightened” government. And Ssanggyesa Temple played a part in the propagation of this propaganda, especially since it played such a prominent role in Korean Buddhist history and culture. Here are a collection of Colonial era pictures of Ssanggyesa Temple through the years.

The Pro-Russian Bloc in the West is Looking for Any Excuse to End Ukraine Aid. Ukraine should Not Strike Russia
Ukrainian strikes on Russia proper jeopardize the rickety pro-Ukraine aid coalition in the West. Ukraine shouldn’t do this. It is too risky.
I just wrote on this topic for 1945.com.
There are many reasons to strike Russia directly, which Eliot Cohen helpfully develops here:
– Morally, it is fair because Russia has been terror bombing Ukrainian cities for more than a year. This mild Ukrainian response is far below law-of-war proportionality norms.
– Psychologically, bringing the war home to Russians confronts them with the costs of the war and may encourage them to re-consider it.
– Militarily, forcing Russia to spread its defenses helps thin out its forces on the front lines in Ukraine.
Despite all the reasons to hit Russia at home, the political risks in the West to Ukraine are too high. Yes, that is unfair. It is ridiculous that Russia gets to bomb Ukrainian cities, but if Ukraine does the same, it is suddenly a massive escalation. But it is important to remember that the Western hard right and hard left are looking for any excuse to halt aid to Ukraine. These people have variously claimed that we should support Ukraine because it would lead to a nuclear wear, Ukraine could not win anyway, it just prolongs the war, Europeans will freeze without Russian winter gas, the cost is huge, and so on.
There is no consistent or principled argumentation about the war from the pro-Putin Western bloc. What they really want is a Russian victory for ideological reasons. They can’t say that outright, so they keep jumpingn from one rationale to another which would justify an aid cut-off aid. The right admires Putin’s reactionary, anti-woke authoritarianism; the left is hung up on US imperialism. They crave a Russian victory, so they will say anything to claim Ukraine aid is a mistake. Ukrainian strikes inside Russia are precisely the sort of card they will play – it is ‘escalation.’
Ukraine can’t win without Western assistance. The political-strategic risks – to invaluable Western military assistance – outweigh an operational gains of these strike. That sucks, but Trump, Marjorie Taylor Green, the NatCons, the anti-imperial lefties are all looking for any excuse to end aid. Ukraine should do its best to fight in way which gives them no ammunition to press their claims

Buljosa Temple – 불조사 (Gimhae, Gyeongsangnam-do)
Buljosa Temple is located to the northwest of Mt. Sineosan (630.7 m) in northern Gimhae, Gyeongsangnam-do. The temple was first constructed in 1995 to help commemorate the monk Jangyu-hwasang, who puportedly first arrived on the Korean Peninsula in 46 A.D. Jangyu-hwasang, whose original name was Heo Bo-ok, was the brother of Queen Heo Hwang-ok. Queen Heo Hwang-ok (32-189 A.D.) would become the wife of Suro of Geumgwan Gaya (42? – 199 A.D.), who was the legendary founder of Geumwang Gaya (43–532 A.D.). Jangyu-hwasang, in his own right, was purportedly a prince. He, alongside twenty servants, sailed with his sister, Queen Heo Hwang-ok, to the Korean Peninsula. According to these legends, it’s believed that Jangyu-hwasang first introduced Buddhism to Geumwang Gaya. And to help memorialize the arrival of Queen Heo Hwang-ok, Jangyu-hwasang, and the introduction of Buddhism, King Suro of Geumgwan Gaya ordered two Buddhist temples to be constructed. They were Eunhasa Temple and Myeongwolsa Temple. And later, King Jilji of Geumgwan Gaya (r. 451-492 A.D.), the eighth king of the Gaya Confederacy, had a Buddhist temple constructed to commemorate where the king and queen first met. This temple was called Wanghusa Temple, and it was used to pray for the king’s ancestors and to hold Buddhist ceremonies. In later life, Jangyu-hwasang lived and meditated on Mt. Bulmosan and Mt. Jirisan, where he purportedly trained the seven sons of King Suro of Geumgwan Gaya in Buddhism. Eventually, and after intensive training and meditation, they all attained Buddahood after two years. The temple where they reached enlightenment is Chilbulsa Temple, or “Seven Buddha’s Temple” in English, on Mt. Jirisan.
Buljosa Temple belongs to the previously unheard of Jangyu-jong Buddhist Order.
Temple LayoutYou first approach Buljosa Temple up a winding mountainside road. Eventually the temple comes into sight. The first thing to greet you, besides a long set of stairs that leads up to the temple courtyard, is the monks’ quarters off to the right. Up the mountainside, you’ll find the temple’s Buddhist shrine halls. Straight ahead is the Daeung-jeon Hall. Out in front of the main hall is a newer looking three-story stone pagoda. Wrapped around the exterior walls of the Daeung-jeon Hall are two sets of murals. The upper murals are the Palsang-do (The Eight Scenes from the Buddha’s Life) and the lower set of fading murals are dedicated to the Shimu-do (The Ox-Herding Murals). Up near the signboard for the main hall, which reads “Daeung-jeon” in hanja, you’ll find a pair of fish with a golden pearl between the two. Stepping inside the main hall, you’ll find a beautiful triad of statues centred by Seokgamoni-bul (The Historical Buddha) under a vibrant red datjib (canopy). Seokgamoni-bul is joined on either side by Munsu-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Wisdom) and Bohyeon-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Power). This triad is backed by a beautiful golden relief. To the left of the main altar is a modern Shinjung Taenghwa (Guardian Mural) and to the right is an equally modern mural dedicated to Jijang-bosal (The Bodhisattva of the Afterlife).
To the right of the Daeung-jeon Hall, and on the same lower courtyard level, is a shrine hall dedicated to Jangyu-hwasang. Painted around the exterior is the Bodhidharma and his encounter with Dazu Huike (487–593 A.D.). As for the interior, and stepping into this smaller sized shrine hall, you’ll find a painting on the main altar dedicated to Jangyu-hwasang. This painting, which is masterfully executed in black and gold, rests under a compact canopy. Joining this central painting is a mural dedicated to the monk and his journey to the Gaya Confederacy.
Just up the stairs, and to the right rear of the shrine hall dedicated to Jangyu-hwasang, is the Sanshin-gak Hall. The shaman shrine is surrounded by scenic paintings, as well as a fierce-looking tiger. Stepping inside the Sanshin-gak Hall, you’ll find a rather uniquely painted style of mural. Have a look at this rather original painting with the sun shrouded in mountain clouds.
The final thing that visitors can explore at Buljosa Temple is a large, stone relief dedicated to Yaksayeorae-bul (The Buddha of Medicine, and the Buddha of the Eastern Paradise). This relief, and corresponding shrine, crowns the heights of the temple. To get to the relief dedicated to Yaksayeorae-bul, you’ll need to follow the trail that starts to the immediate right of the Sanshin-gak Hall. Follow this trail up the mountainside for 250 metres, until you come to a mountain ridge that steeply looks out over the temple grounds, as well as the rolling mountains and valleys off in the distance. The relief of Yaksayeorae-bul stands at least five metres in height, and it’s skillfully composed with a medicine bowl appearing in Yaksayeorae-bul’s left hand. And the right hand of the relief forms the “gesture of fearlessness” mudra.
How To Get ThereFrom the Gimhae Intercity Bus Terminal, which is called the “Oedong Terminal – 외동터미널,” you can either take Bus #71 or Bus #72. You’ll then need to get off at the Gwangje Bus Stop, which is 40 minutes away, or 24 stops. From the bus stop, and as you’re looking away from the bus stop, you’ll have to head right for about 100 metres on the main road. At this point, you’ll see the sign for Buljosa Temple that leads you up the mountain and towards the temple. Be careful on this road because it’s busy and there’s no sidewalk.
Overall Rating: 7/10One of the more interesting encounters I had at a temple was at Buljosa Temple and the paranoid abbot. However, if the abbot isn’t there, the temple is quite nice with the beautiful interior of the Daeung-jeon Hall, the unique Jangyu-hwasang shrine hall, the striking Sanshin mural, and the relief dedicated to Yaksayeorae-bul up the mountainside. While little known, the temple has some beautiful features.
The Daeung-jeon Hall at Buljosa Temple. The three-story pagoda in front of the main hall. The main hall signboard with two golden fishes below it. The final painting from the Shimu-do (Ox-Herding Mural) set. The main altar inside the Daeung-jeon Hall. The shrine hall dedicated to Jangyu-hwasang (right) and the Sanshin-gak Hall (left). The main altar painting inside the shrine hall dedicated to Jangyu-hwasang. Another mural detailing Jangyu-hwasang’s journey to the Korean Peninsula. The Sanshin (Mountain Spirit) mural inside the shaman shrine hall. A look up at the Yaksayeorae-bul relief that crowns the temple grounds. The view from the trek up to the relief. And a closer look at the Buddha of Medicine, Yaksayeorae-bul.—Dale's Korean Temple Adventures YouTube
