Sleeping with the fan on

I went to a temple with Yun Jung.  It was downtown, and I think it was in the KangNam region (which literally means "South of the River" ... Kang = "river", Nam = "South").  It was interesting how this temple was tucked away downtown, and when you're downtown it was tough to see the temple and when you were in the temple you forgot that you were downtown.
 
Here is a picture of the temple from the street.  Only part of 1 building is at all visible, and at this point I had no idea how sprawling the temple complex was. 

 
Approaching the temple, I was a little surprised to see an inverted swastika, but then I remembered that the ACTUAL meaning of a swastika is basically good luck or good fortune and that its association with the Nazis was merely an unfortunate side effect of the Nazis attempt to wipe out pretty much the rest of the world.  I can understand how people might take offense at that.

 
Along one of the walking paths, I saw this tucked away.

 
Here is a HUGE statue of a Buddhist scholar.  You can see Yun Jung in the picture.

 
Here is an ajumma praying at the base of that same statue.  The statue was resting on a large stone slab, maybe about the size of a baseball diamond.

 
This is a little fountain in the same stone patio area as the statue.

 
Lastly, here are some paper lanterns.  When people really want something, they buy a paper lantern and write their names on it and hang it up.
