Finally I arrived at the last gate to the temple.
The name of that gate was “il joo moon”
Il joo moon means one column of pillars.
It seems that there is "Il joo moon" in almost of Buddhist temples.
I don’t know why they have built one column of gate in Buddhist temple.
Inside of the gate was so impressive.
Those structures were made for supporting the weigh of the roof.
There were the carvings of the dragons inside of the gate
There were two stone sculptures of animal
It looks like a monkey.
Why did they carve the monkey statues in front of the gate ?
Interesting thing is there was another road to enter into the temple without passing through the gate.
If they made an another road detouring the gate, why did they make the gate ?
I suppose there must be some meaning of Buddhist theory in making the road and the gate together.
Buddhism looks like a religion of the metaphor.
The design of this temple is mysterious and provokes wonder about its meaning. Perhaps this in itself is sufficient.
We all seek out sacred spaces, even inside ourselves. We deal in metaphors because we can't quite grasp life's enigmas.
The great American writer, Thoreau, once wrote:
“Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones."
Buddhism is a religion of metaphors, as is every belief - as is our daily experience of living.
Have a good day, my friend.

That was something intricate by workmanship @slowwalker because the roof was quite a bit heavy, they need to make a good support for it. The place was really beautiful and can be a subject for a painting because of the colors in and around the temple with it varying hues. The place gives the visitor something to think about too on how things are built with its statues and design.

We have the tradition that not all the people Are allowed to pass the front door to enter a temple. maybe that is why it has side door.

In the temple in addition to the door there is an alternative way to enter, because in Buddhism it is believed that in life, in addition to the doors that are opened to us, there are also alternative paths to them, and these can lead us to do good or evil, and defines each person in the decisions he makes.

I love the architecture of Buddhist temples. Im also in love with Zen-like decorated rooms and places. It is an art to fill the landscape or the room, with a seemingly effortlessly dissolving line between human created and natural surroundings.

If you read Shakyamuni Buddha’s teaching he once said “There are 84,000 paths to Nirvana.”
So every can follow their own paths to enlightenment :)

Its pretty amazing what some people are capable of. I think its rather faster to build the whole structure then the roof it self.
How old would you say this is? The stones seem worn out but the wood is quite well kept.

This is a tradition. Many temples have more than one door. The "middle gates" are only allowed to be used by distinguished guests (senior officials) and masters (gods). If you are ordinary people, you need to go in and out of "side doors."
There are many Chinese temples with three doors. The entrance on the left. The exit on the right. The central entrance.
