If you're in Korea, make sure to stop by and pray for blessings 🙏✨ at "Bongeunsa Temple" (봉은사: Bongeunsa), located in Seoul (서울), formerly known as
Gyeongseongsa Temple (경성사: Gyeonseongsa). I've heard people talking about praying here. It's one of the oldest temples in Korea. Inside, you'll find a 23-meter-tall carved marble Buddha statue, the largest in Korea. The traditional offerings here include offerings of rice, sticky rice, red beans, and candles.
🍚Rice: Pray for prosperity, happiness, and wealth.
🫘Red beans: Dispel evil and exorcise evil.
🍙Sticky rice: *For students preparing for university entrance exams and academics.
🕯️Candles: Enhance your life and prolong your life. P.S. Before leaving, don't forget to stop by and offer amulets. *For those who believe in superstition, don't miss this. Here, you'll find a variety of amulets, each designed to reflect your wishes, such as academic success, wealth, protection from ghosts, good fortune, and more. Stop by and get a 🔮📿 gold-leaf bracelet to boost your good fortune and bring peace of mind!✨
🚕 Call a taxi from your hotel to Bongeunsa Temple.
📌: Seoul Station, Gangnam-gu, Samseong 1-dong, Bongeunsa-ro 531
Or, if you prefer, take the MRT Line 9 to Bongeunsa Station, Exit 1. Walk straight from the exit and you'll find the temple entrance. The temple is located across from Coex Mall (where you'll find the Starfield Library). 📚✨
