Haedong Yonggungsa - The Water Temple

      The one-of-a-kind Buddhist temple, Haedong Yonggungsa, is unique in the fact that it was built along the coastline instead of high in the mountains which was the more common practice.  Legend has it that while a monk was meditating on this site, the only female Buddha revealed herself to him while riding a sea dragon through the waves.  The temple was built on this very site to honor her.

      And since this is my first post of the new year, best wishes with your resolutions.  I'm on day two of my fitness quest.  Better than I was at 25?  Better than 20?  Why not be in the best shape of my life for my 30th year?!
