I think not much people know about the temple below the buddha. Not even the (korea) tour guide that brought us over
I still remember wks before the trip, I dreamt of the Golden Statue of a thousand hands Goddess of Mercy and the surrounding (inside of the temple). So when I reached the place, i was stunned by what i see. The walls paintings, the Golden Statue of the Goddess of Mercy is right in front of me, as what I have dreamt. Needless to say, I am down on my knees praying. There wasn’t anyone i can communicate with in English.
I think the statue of the bodhi is either with “enhance” with gold foil (chinese did it this way? not sure about korean) or it can be real gold? the statue isn’t big so i think it can be done (in terms of $ n cts)

Yr post just confirmed that the temple is below the Buddha. I cannot find it elsewhere. Thank you.

Unfortunately you weren’t allowed to take photos inside the temple. 🙁
