among the silent temples

Tongdosa is the big, famous temple in Yangsan.

Peter and I walked there from Fantasia, on a path that took us along a creek surrounded by big, still pine trees. Someone was painting them.

At six, everyone gathered in one part of the temple complex

to watch this monk ring the giant bell.

over a stream.
