The road to Okcheonam is really good. There is a valley like this in Seoul. Hahaha

I visited the Okcheonam Rock-carved Bodhisattva Seated Statue located in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. This is also a place where prayers are offered in the form of Buddha sculptures carved into the rocks. Address: 1-38 Hongjimun-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul

A temple in the city center is unique.

On the way to Hongjecheon and Pyeongchang-dong, there is a Hongjecheon walking trail. It's refreshing to be able to take a walk along Pobangteo Market and Bukhansan Mountain Trail. The view of Okcheonam over the stream is also good.

The Okcheonam rock-carved Bodhisattva seated statue is also called Baekbul. This seated statue has a story like this. It is said that a woodcutter prayed for 100 days because he had no spouse, and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva appeared and helped him find a spouse. That is why many people pray in front of this seated statue to meet good people. Without knowing that, I prayed and offered rice to help me meet a good person, but I don't know if my prayers will be heard. This seated statue of Buddha is 5 meters high and carved into a large rock. Looking at old photos, the water flowed right in front of the statue, so if it rained a little too much, it would have hit the statue right away, but since it was carved into a rock, it seems to have remained strong even after a long time.

This rock-carved Buddha has been designated as a treasure. The sound of water flowing in front of it is resonant. I see someone praying quietly.

This is the Okcheon Rock Rock-carved Bodhisattva seated statue, which is said to be a good place for prayer feet at the three major statues in Seoul (Yeonjuam Hermitage on Gwanaksan Mountain and Bomunsa Temple on Seokmodo Island in Ganghwa Island). One cold winter night, I saw a celebrity car and a fully covered woman offering prayers. This is a work from the late Goryeo period, and when viewed up close, it is well preserved and has beautiful overall proportions. There are stories about Lee Seong-gye at the time of the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, anecdotes about battles during the Japanese invasions of Korea, and Gojong in the late Joseon Dynasty. Anyone can pass by and make a wish.😀
