Location : Yeoju City at Gyeonggi Province in
Korea.
3. Particular and Summary : Shiluksa
Temple was originally constructed at low Bongmisan Mountain (156.8m Altitude) in
Shilla Dynasty, no detailed records when they built the temple and afterwards heavily
renovated in 1440 (King
Sejong 22 years). CNN recommended Shiluksa at the 50 beautiful places
to visit in South Korea as 35 ranking at https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/south-korea-beautiful-places/index.html. It is particular points this
temple was unusually constructed besides Namhangang (South Han River). We mostly
understand temple would be not normally constructed closer to the river but at
very deep forest mountain.

As soon as arrived at Shiluksa Bus Stop, please walk 12 minutes for 917m to Shiluksa Temple. you could refer to the map of “Transportation from Seoul Express Bus Terminal to Shiluksa Temple.I estimate total transportation time from Seoul Bus Terminal to Shiluksa Temple for 2 hours for one way which estimate about 4 hours for round trip. But you would reduce this transportation time to 3 hours for round trip in case you use private car or rent car which you could save one hour for the transportation.

Overall
Remarks.
Shiluksa Temple is consisting with
following annex hall or pagoda and other Korea Treasures. I will introduce
these items according to visiting course. If you like to look a video, please
link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyRBnd5A9fw
1)
Main Gate ( Bongmisan
Shiluksa) : I walked to the main Gate and found ticketing booth at left and
check if I am supposed to buy the ticket or not and confirmed no need to buy
the ticket due to senior, above 65 years old. As I entering the Main Gate, I
could see this temple is unusually clean and well organized with surrounding
healthy green pine trees.
2)
2nd Gate and Natural
Garden : When I walked through the main gate, I saw 2nd Gate in front which is
not far. I kept walking through the 2nd Gate and found neat and smart nature
green garden looks I would be somewhere in the middle of unpolluted nature
green filed. Please see at the photo and video.
3)
Geungnakbojeon (Main
Temple) : Geungnakbojeon was rebuilt by King of Sookjong in 1678 and heavily
renovated by King of Jeongjo in 1797. This Main Building was built with 9
square meter in front and 6 square meters at side and stably positioning at the
middle of whole temple as square and accumulating style building. Amita Triad Buddha
has been sitting on top of Buddha pagoda who does an act of charity to mankind.
There are two supporting Buddha siting left and right as see at the photo who
were splendidly decorated and well matching. Buddhist Painting for Buddha Triad
was drawn on wall where Amita Triad Buddha seating which uses only two color,
red and green. This painting is good matching to the Amita Triad Buddha in
terms of color and position as see at the photo.
4) Multiple Story Stone Pagoda
The
Multiple Story Stone Pagoda has been installed in front of Geungnakbojeon (Main
Temple) which was particularly made with white marble stone and generally
assembled on double layer foundation looks same as structure as Shilla Dynasty
or Koryeo Dynasty. But detailed structure is different from others at these
times like lotus imprint at foundation stone and bracken pattern at side.
5)
Multiple Story Jeontap (Clay Pagoda)
This Pagoda has been installed at rock hill in South
East of the Shiluksa Temple where you could look down widely opened South Han
River flowing and twisting through Yeoju City. It was common understanding
Pagoda would be normally and principally built around middle of the temple. But
this principal has been change according to trend change. The pagodas were built
at widely open view position like rock hill or peak cliff top where earth
energy is concentrating in focus. This Pagoda was built at the rock hill outside
the temple taking into account this trend change. Jeontap means to install
pagoda with clay brick which is mostly at Sothern part or middle part of
country.
The Pagoda is total 7 story and 9.4m high which foundation
is made with granite stone. They installed clay brick in circular on top of the
foundation.
