Korea / Southwestern Region / Unjusa Temple
Situated
30 km southwest of the town of Hwasun-up. It was constructed by
the great Buddhist monk, Toson-guksa, during the Unified Shilla
Period(A.D. 676-935). Eighteen pagodas and 80 statues of Buddha
in and around the temple are all that remain of the 1,000 Buddhas
and 1,000 pagodas that once belonged to this temple.
According to the traditional theory of geomancy, the Korean Peninsula was thought of as being unbalanced and in danger of capsizing because there were fewer mountains in Honam, the southwestern part of the peninsula, than in Yongnam, the southeastern part of the peninsula.
To prevent
this disaster, thousands of statues of Buddha and thousands of
pagodas are believed to have been erected at temples in the southwestern
part of the peninsula.
