It was hot weather when the ritual was performed.
People were waiting for the beginning of the ritual.
Even though it was 10 am in the morning, it was getting hotter.
Everything was ready for the ritual.
Finally the ritual began, "the receiving souls" was was the first procedure.
I didn’t know how this ritual would be proceeded.
They marched to meet the souls.
They arrived at the place to meet the souls.
The place to meet the souls was several hundred meters from the main stage.
When I followed the marching and arrived at the place for receiving the souls all around of the world.
So many photographers were waiting for the marching people and the ceremony.
The place was narrow so I could not take the best place for the photo.
The ceremony began with Buddhist songs which had the unique attractive rhythm.
Monks were dancing with the bronze bowls.
I don’t know what the meaning of the dance, but monks were very serious.
Their serious face look was so touching.
The dance was not just a dance, the dance looked like a religious discipline for me.
Even in my region there are ancient rituals that are repeated. Very suggestive Easter or carnival ones ...

It is a colorful ritual @slowwalker but for me it is their way to appease things that are not seen like the departed or the ancestors. It makes the culture of Koreans very distinct and thus making the lives of Koreans colorful as well.

That's a very interesting ceremony.
What does it actually mean by receiving souls, do they call and connect with the departed souls. I am quite curious to know what is the reason for this ceremony.
The pictures are awesome.
Monks seem to have transported in to another dimension.

What an interesting ritual. Your photos really capture the realism. One thing I have always liked about religion in Korea is how peacefully everyone gets along. There is a lot of religious diversity around and everyone cooperates so well. Thanks for introducing and teaching about this aspect of Buddism.

I wish we would have rituals and celebrations like this here in germany. The closest thing we have to that would be carnival, but let us not talk about this.
