Meaning of Mireukseonwon is Zenhouse in the name of Maitreya. This temple seems to be the right place for people to meditate quietly in the mountain. It was rebuilt recently.
On the information board, it was written that there was a stone buddha statue, but, I could not find where it was. There was not anyone in the vast temple but a dog. Dogs raised in temples are usually very gentle.
They rarely bark to people.
Then, I met a hiker passing by and asked him where a stone buddha statue was. Walking a little further along the mountain trail, I saw a back of buddha’s head. Buddha’s head was placed on a large rock.
Originally there was an intact Buddha statue, but the body was destroyed later. Guessing by the size of buddha’s head, the entire statue might have ben very huge. Buddha’s nose is black. The material of the stone was black.
Buddha’s body was carved on the rock under the buddha’s head. On another rock next to it, Bodhisattva was carved. There is a cliff below the rock. It was hard to take a whole picture.
