I looked into the main hall, Daeungden, and saw a figure standing there
There is a Buddhist temple in the suburbs of Gyeongju that is registered as a World Heritage Site. It is Bulguksa Temple. Although it was built in the Silla period, it seems that the temple had already been abandoned before the Yi dynasty. However, this did not stop the temple from being registered as a World Heritage site, as it survived the period of Buddhist suppression and was restored.
It started to rain while I was wandering around the temple grounds. I didn't have an umbrella, so I had to go under the eaves and wait for the rain to stop. When I looked at the main hall of the temple, Daeungjeon, which was rebuilt in 1765, I saw a figure inside the hall.
I felt that it would be more virtuous to stay inside the main hall than under the roof of the corridor to pass the rain, which was not expected to stop anytime soon.
