Bongeunsa Temple 봉은사

#seoulspots
If you're seeking genuine mindfulness or a place to meditate outside of a class, the grounds in front of the Maitreya Buddha are perfect. There are cushions laid out, and the area is designed for quiet contemplation. I took the advice to attend the 5 PM Bell Ceremony and it was a powerful, grounding experience. The deliberate, heavy strikes of the bell and the rhythmic drumming are an incredible sound bath that forces you to be completely present. It truly serves as a meditative refuge. The entire site is very clean and the atmosphere is respectful and conducive to inner reflection. It helped me clear my head and refocus before jumping back into the chaos of the city. A highly therapeutic destination. #seoulspot
