Probably the oldest thing in this temple would be the stupas for the monk Yil Yeon. At first I could not notice the stupas, because those stupas were located in the corner of the temple.
The style of the the stupa was as same as that of other stupas made in the Goryeo dynasty.
The patterns were carved on the surface of the stupa body. But it was not easy to identify what those patterns were.
Fortunately, the copy of the patterns carved on the body of the stupa was exhibited in the provisional building stood at the corner of the temple.
The patterns looked like the boddhisattvas and the animals.
@slowwalker,
These patterns are pretty amazing! Seems they did a great job at their time and it's glad to see this stupa survived! Nice photography and reminds me ruins at my country as well!
Cheers~

An intriguing post, @slowwalker - the monument inscriptions were so faded the site caretakers needed to provide illustrative templates.
What immediately leapt to mind was the centuries it took wind and rain to erode the stone.
In addition to containing relics, these stupas are often used for purposes of meditation and I could think of no deeper meditation than to contemplate time's passage and human mortality.
A simple yet profound post, my friend.

Beautiful photo
In your post you have given a clear picture through photos and a brief explanation of the stupa that looks simple but elegant. You also explain the engraving details on the stupa. This is what I always say to you, that you are not only someone who wants to take photos, but wants to convey many things with the temple or other objects you visit. We, as people far from Korea, know and get an idea of everything you post.
I like the tone of giving lessons that are very closely related to history and religion in Korea
Thank you @slowwalker
Thank you steemit
Warm regard from Indonesia

I tried to compare the stone carving to the drawings on the stupa, and I find it to be really awesome, the craftsmanship is totally splendid, and it seems really so sophisticated how they exhibited it, awesome shots

That is an interesting prints from the carving from Stuppa, the figures are all in different position, just looking like they are dancing. Seeing these pictures they reminded me how when we were in Wales and there in Museum it was a form of Dragon (Dragon is on national Welsh flag) that the children could put a specially prepared black paper and go over with golden color pencils, so that they had a beautiful dragon print as a memory, my son one at home I really love it because of two things, first I love dragons and second because it was done by my son :)

Wow, amazing how the carvings are worn almost smooth with the elements and time., and yet, time never ceases to advance. I enjoyed this post.
