the "magic ball" is the cintamani or philosopher's stone. in sanskrit it stands for "thought gem", but the chinese translation means "wish-fulfilling gem".
I remember being frightened as a kid when entering a temple and seeing the scary face of those 사천왕 (Four Heavenly Kings). BTW, what's your favorite temple in Korea so far?
I think a career in television producing/appearing in documentaries/travel shows is there for you if you ever want a change from TEFL. Nice video and, like Zublime75 says, a good choice of music
Great, another professional video. I'd pay for this kind of material!
I heard somewhere that there is a Dongtan in China too, a newly built (or being built?) city that is entirely self-sufficient... Some super city. I'll have to look more into it.
interesting, informative, and i really like that you recorded the audio separate so that you could be at a distance from the cam. very professionally executed.

Your video looks more like a professional TV report. Why don't you find a job in TV stations?

Don't know. I do like Inwangsan because of its dualistic nature, but I've only been to four temples so far.

The architecture is very similar to Kyungbukkong's. Is it just typically Korean or Shilla, or some other reason?
dannisjc 2 years ago
If you look at all Buddhists temples of the time, you'll find similar architecture. The paint scheme was a mandate of the Josen Dynasty.

Thanks for the complement. Yes, there is a Dongtan in China as well. It's being dubbed a "Green" city I believe.
