Buddhist temple in Seoul

This is the temple mom has been going for last 30 years (probably longer).. Most Korean temples look like this.. It's quite different from those you see in Perth. The temple is located on the hill that leads to a big mountain. At the back yard, there are vegie garden and Korean traditional containers to keep home-brewed soy sauce, chili paste and so on... Well, mom prays a lot every day and she does volunteer work there as well. I used to go to the temple just for fun and free food! My favorite day was Buddha's Birthday! Of course there are heaps of food and even presents! But most of all, we made those lotus flower lanterns and at night we used to lid candles inside. Then a usual ordinary night turned to the most beautiful colorful one like utopia! Man.. I really enjoyed that, didn't I?? Man.. I'm old!
