Jogyesa Temple — Calm in the Chaos

#seoulspots Jogyesa Temple — Calm in the Chaos

Amid Seoul’s endless motion, Jogyesa Temple feels like an island of peace. Lanterns hang in rows above the courtyard, swaying gently in the wind. I arrived early morning — monks were chanting, their deep voices echoing through the halls. The smell of incense wrapped around me as I sat on the floor, eyes closed, just breathing. Outside, office workers hurried past, but inside, time slowed. I lit a small candle for good fortune and watched its flame flicker. In a city that never stops, Jogyesa reminded me how to pause.
