Just before entering into the main gate of the temple, there was a Sarira Pagoda area.
The sarira pagoda in Daeheung-sa temple was different from others in its style.
Usually the sarira pagoda was located in hidden place far from the road
Then the sarira temple in Daeheung-sa was located in the closest area to the temple.
In many cases people needed to find out where the sarira pagoda was located in.
But the sarira pagoda of this temple was located in front of the entrance of the temple.
There was a gate and walls for the sarira pagoda.
The gate and the walls were as low that anybody could see the sarira pagoda with no difficulty.
The sarira pagoda was so amazing. I could notice how old the pagodas were.
Not only its history but also the style of the sarira pagoda was amazing.
In my thought, I could see almost of all styles of the sarira pagodas in this place.
I'd like to post as many photos as possible.
I wish you enjoy the beauty of these pagodas.
According to the explanation board, there was a very famous monk in Korean Buddhist History.
His name was ‘Seosan’ meaning West Mountain. In Buddhism the West means the paradise.
He had fought against the Japanese Army when Japan had invaded in Korea during 1592- 1597.
He was not only the enlightened monk but also very famous General.
It is some what weird that the great religious leader had fought in the battle field.
But there was a reason he had to fight against the Japanese Army.
The lives of ordinary people under the Japanese Army was so deteriorated, they were looted and slaughtered by the Japanese Army.
So the Buddhist monks had had to fight against the Japanese Army to protect their religion and the lives of People.
The board explained there was a sarira pagoda for Seosan.
But it was not easy to find. It was too small and not extinguished.
It seemed that he didn’t want a splendid stupa for him.
I though the one of the humblest pagoda was Seosan’s
In my opinion, the sarira pagoda must be the most representative symbol in Korean Buddhism.
Then why did they build the sarira pagoda in a remote place ?
they built it in a remote place just to affirm their presence in the suburbs. Even the ancient Romans built Arcs of Triumph on the edge of the Empire and very far from Rome. The self-congratulatory form of this structure is evident.
lovely pix
@slowwalker,
Wow those photography are so amazing! Specially with that background contains lots of trees (Green color) that scene made a perfect eye sight!
There is a great history combined with this Sarira pagoda! I think that's why they made it in-front of the entrance! Willing to see more photography and more information about this wonderful temple!
Cheers~
Sarira pagoda looks peaceful and relaxing. could be a good place for a group meditation.

You are right slowwalker, the pagodas are very beautiful😊, they have passed many years but they are well maintained, there are some that have turtles.
He is a very brave monk, who decides not to keep his hands crossed when he saw what was happening.
How would you know why? It would be incredible to know because as there are so many things that have been done and you do not know why, but maybe a remote place but beyond that it could have been for its beautiful place, the peace and tranquility that it offers.
A very extraordinary trip ...
The scenery is also very beautiful, many stone buildings are diverse.
Very beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing them. I can not understand a little (Wikipedia did not help), what is a pagoda?
