In Temple Contemplation, Mike Ryan takes readers on a journey into the rich culture and traditions of Korea through the lens of its temples. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Korean history, culture, or religion.
Ryan begins his journey at the ancient temple of Bulguksa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bulguksa was built in the 8th century and is one of the most important Buddhist temples in Korea. Ryan explores the temple's history, architecture, and art, and he discusses the role that Buddhism has played in Korean culture.
From Bulguksa, Ryan travels to other important temples throughout Korea, including the Gyeongju National Museum, the Jogyesa Temple, and the Haedong Yonggungsa Temple. Each temple has its own unique history and significance, and Ryan provides a detailed and insightful look at each one.
In addition to exploring the history and architecture of Korean temples, Ryan also discusses the role that they play in Korean society. Temples are not only places of worship, but they are also centers of community and culture. Ryan attends a temple festival, learns about traditional Korean music and dance, and even spends a night sleeping in a temple.
Temple Contemplation is a beautifully written and informative book that provides a unique glimpse into Korean culture. Ryan's writing is clear and engaging, and he provides a wealth of information without ever being overwhelming. The book is also full of stunning photographs that bring the temples and their surroundings to life.
