20210617_143142.jpg 20210617_143203 - Copy.jpg 20210617_143250.jpgJeongtosa Temple – 정토사 (Nam-gu, Ulsan)
Jeongtosa Temple is located in Nam-gu in the southern part of Ulsan past the Taehwa River. And it’s situated just to the east of the diminutive Mt. Samhosan (125.7 m). Jeongtosa Temple is named after “Jeongto,” which is the Korean word for “Pure Land” in English.
Jeongto is a pure heavenly realm that’s occupied by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have shed all of their afflictions. This is the ultimate goal of the popular Jeongto form of Korean Buddhism, which is known as the “Pure Land School” in English. Specifically, Jeongto is referring to a heaven in the Western Paradise inhabited by Amita-bul (The Buddha of the Western Paradise). In Mahayana Buddhism, there are numerous Buddhas, and each Buddha has their own Pure Land. For example, there is an Eastern Paradise, known as “Jeongyuri” in Korean, which is home to Yaksayeorae-bul (The Medicine Buddha, and the Buddha of the Eastern Paradise). Of the these Pure Lands, Jeongto is the most popular. Based upon the Pure Land traditions, when an individual enters the Pure Land, it’s equivalent to attaining enlightenment. And once a person enters the Western Pure Land, the individual is then instructed by Amita-bul and numerous Bodhisattvas to help complete their attainment of enlightenment. It is at this stage that a person has the choice to return at any time as a Bodhisattva to any one of the Six Realms of Existence. Or they can stay in Jeongto and reach Buddhahood and deliver others from suffering. So it is to this symbolic meaning and tradition that Jeongtosa Temple is named.
Temple LayoutAs you first approach Jeongtosa Temple, you’ll notice an upright stone marker with the name of the temple on it written in Korean: 정토사. Making your way towards the temple buildings, and up a slight incline, you’ll first notice stone statues of a dongja (attendants) and Podae-hwasang (The Hempen Bag) with a well-worn belly that’s been rubbed for good luck by those visiting the temple. Book-ending buildings guide you up towards the main hall and the lower courtyard. These buildings are the monks dorms, the visitors centre, and the temple’s kitchen.
A little to the left, and then back to the right, and up another concrete incline, you’ll be standing squarely in the centre of the temple’s lower courtyard. Straight ahead of you is the Daeung-jeon Hall. This large main hall’s exterior walls are adorned with various Buddhist motif murals like an all-white Gwanseeum-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Compassion) and Munsu-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Wisdom) riding a white elephant. Stepping inside the Daeung-jeon Hall, you’ll find a triad of statues centred by Seokgamoni-bul (The Historical Buddha). This statue is joined on either side by, not so surprising, Yaksayeorae-bul (The Medicine Buddha, and the Buddha of the Eastern Paradise) and Amita-bul (The Buddha of the Western Paradise). On the far left wall is a Dragon Ship of Wisdom mural, as well as a Shinjung Taenghwa (Guardian Mural). And to the right of the main altar is a multi-armed mural and statue dedicated to Gwanseeum-bosal.
Out in front of the Daeung-jeon Hall, and reminiscent of the famed Four Lion Three-story Stone Pagoda of Hwaeomsa Temple, is a three-story stone pagoda at Jeongtosa Temple. Housed inside this pagoda are some purported sari (crystallized remains) of Seokgamoni-bul (The Historical Buddha). And to the right of the Daeung-jeon Hall is the Myeongbu-jeon Hall. Housed inside this temple shrine hall is a green haired statue dedicated to Jijang-bosal (The Bodhisattva of the Afterlife), who sits upon the main altar. And this statue of Jijang-bosal is joined inside the Myeongbu-jeon Hall by Siwang (The Ten Kings of the Underworld).
To the left of the Daeung-jeon Hall and the accompany lion based pagoda is a large stone statue and shrine dedicated to Gwanseeum-bosal. And to the right of this statue is the highly unique concrete pantheon of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. On the top level of this outdoor shrine, you’ll find statues dedicated to Seokgamoni-bul and Amita-bul. And on the lower levels of this neatly divided shrine, you’ll find images of Birojana-bul (The Buddha of Cosmic Energy), Yaksayeorae-bul, and Gwanseeum-bosal.
To the rear of the Daeung-jeon Hall, and up another embankment that leads to the upper courtyard at Jeongtosa Temple, is the newly built Samseong-gak Hall. The murals housed inside the Samseong-gak Hall are the traditional triad that you’ll find at most Korean Buddhist temples. The central image is that of Chilseong (The Seven Stars). This image is joined on either side by Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit) and Dokseong (The Lonely Saint).
And to the far, far right, and housed on an overlooking courtyard, is a stone semi-circle shrine dedicated to Seokgamoni-bul. And this large stone statue is surrounded in the semi-circle by the sixteen Nahan (The Historical Disciples of the Buddha), the Sacheonwang (The Four Heavenly Kings), and various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas like Munsu-bosal, Jijang-bosal and Gwanseeum-bosal. And to the rear of this outdoor shrine is the newly constructed Geukrak-jeon Hall, which was in the process of being built when I visited in 2018. And it’s also from this vantage point that you get a beautiful view of the temple grounds below, including large temple murals that adorn the temple buildings like the three piece, twelve mural set, dedicated to the history of Buddhism and Buddhism in Korea.
How To Get ThereFrom the Ulsan Intercity Bus Terminal in Nam-gu, you can take a taxi. The ride should last about twenty minutes and cost you 8,000 won. You can do that or take a bus from just north of the terminal around the KEB Bank. You’ll need to head north for about five hundred metres. You can then take Bus # 401, #307, #124, #417, #482, #712, #134, #432, or #733. The bus ride should take about twenty to twenty-five minutes. The name of the final bus stop is “Gongwonmyoji Ipgu – 공원묘지입구.” And from this bus stop, you’ll need to head north for about five minutes (just follow the signs).
Overall Rating: 8/10I was very pleasantly surprised while visiting Jeongtosa Temple. There are a lot of halls, shrines, a beautiful pagoda, and murals to enjoy in and around the temple grounds. The highlights at this temple are the pantheon of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the semi-circle shrine dedicated to Seokgamoni-bul, and the lion-based pagoda out in front of the main hall. But there is definitely a lot to see and enjoy at this lesser known temple near downtown Ulsan.
The entry to Jeongtosa Temple. The Daeung-jeon Hall and lion-based pagoda. A closer look at the lion-based three story stone pagoda reminiscent of the historic National Treasure found at Hwaeomsa Temple. A statue of Gwanseeum-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Compassion). The amazing outdoor shrine to the left of the Daeung-jeon Hall at Jeongtosa Temple. A closer look at some of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas that inhabit it. The pathway leading up to the Samseong-gak Hall. The semi-circle outdoor shrine dedicated to Seokgamoni-bul. Some of the stone reliefs of the outdoor shrine.

Removing markers when speaking | Korean FAQ
I often see Korean learners making sentences without adding all of the markers - removing the topic marker or removing the subject marker. This is usually fine. After all, native Korean speakers themselves do this sort of thing all the time. However, just because native speakers can remove markers when speaking, that doesn't mean markers aren't necessary in speech. In fact, removing markers isn't as easy as it seems - removing them can also sound less natural. It's unfortunately not as simple as "it's okay to remove markers." And removing too many markers can even sound awkward, or at the least sound less like a native.
I talk about how native Korean speakers do this, and what things to consider when you want to do this. I also give some advice for how you can sound more natural while removing the topic and subject marker.

gangnam event.jpgMoving out (Table, Chair, Book shelf)
Hi.
Table - 5000 ₩. Condition is fine. The table is very light and thus it is easy to shake/swing if you apply force. But during 3 months of using didn't notice it so much.
Chair - 10000 ₩. Condition is fine. One drawback - the headrest has a little yellow paint on both edges. Other than that, pretty comfortable chair.
Book shelf - 10000 ₩. I think there are little scratches on it but overall condition is fine.
Honestly, I do not know for how long these items were used because I bought/received them for free from this website. I used all of them for 3 months.
Also, there is a discount. Because I need to get rid of it regardless, if you buy any 2 of the items, I'll give 50% discount on both items and the last item could be given for free to any person who will message me. If you want all 3 of them, I'll give all for free.
Only if you are okay with coming for them. Near Jangjeon station (장전역). Deadline is 19.06

Ggotbi – Rain of Flowers: 꽃비
Whenever you enter a Korean Buddhist temple shrine hall, one of the very first things you’ll notice are the floral paintings adorning the ceiling of the structure. These floral patterns are known as “Ggotbi – 꽃비” in Korean, or “Rain of Flowers” in English. You might also see paper lanterns designed as pink or purple lotus flowers suspended from the ceiling, as well. So why exactly are these flowers painted or hanging from the ceiling? And what do they symbolize?
History of Flower CeilingsThe Introduction of the Lotus Sutra describes the sermon given by Seokgamoni-bul (The Historical Buddha) on Vulture Peak. As Seokgamoni-bul completed his sermon entitled “Immeasurable Meanings,” he “sat down cross-legged, undisturbed in body and mind among the great assembly and entered the samadhi [meditative consciousness] called the ‘abode of immeasurable meanings.'” It was while he did this that “…great manjusaka flowers [celestial flowers] fell like rain from the sky, scattering over the Buddha and all of his attendants.”
The Rain of Flowers from inside the Daeung-jeon Hall at Pyochungsa Temple in Miryang, Gyeongsangnam-do. The “Ggotbi – 꽃비” from Tongdosa Temple in Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-do.There is another reference in the Lotus Sutra found in chapter seven entitled “The Parable of the Phantom City,” where thirty-three devas built a lion seat under a bodhi tree for the Buddha. “As soon as the Buddha sat on this seat, all the Brahmas rained down various heavenly flowers for a hundred yojanas [ancient Indian measurement] around; periodically a fragrant breeze would blow away the withered flowers and they would rain down fresh ones.” The devas created this lion seat so that the Buddha, Seokgamoni-bul, could sit on it and gain supreme and universal enlightenment. And after gaining enlightenment, to the time of his earthly death, flowers would rain down from heaven periodically on the Buddha, Seokgamoni-bul.
SymbolismWith these textual references in mind, a Korean Buddhist temple shrine hall’s ceiling is symbolically referring to the Lotus Sutra. The Korean temple shrine hall is meant to symbolize the site of the Vulture Peak Assembly, where the Buddha, Seokgamoni-bul, taught his community his teachings. And a second reason for these painted flowers and hanging paper lotus flowers is that the Buddha, Seokgamoni-bul, gained enlightenment under a sky of flowers. With all of this in mind, the ceiling of flowers is meant to remind monks, nuns, and devotees that they too can gain enlightenment.
The hanging paper lotus flowers at Wonhyoam Hermitage in Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-do. DesignThere are two typical ways in which these floral patterns make their presence known inside a Korean temple shrine hall. The first is that they are painted on the ceiling of the structure. They are typically divided into cross-hatched sections with a lotus flower painted in the centre. And while the lotus flower is the most common flower that you’ll find adorning the ceiling flowers, it isn’t exclusive. Sometimes you’ll find peonies, roses, and other colourful flowers, too. And the other way in which these celestial flowers can manifest themselves is as purple and pink paper lotus flowers that are suspended from the ceiling of the temple shrine hall. Typically they are suspended at head height or just above it.
ConclusionSo now that you know what all these flowers are meant to symbolize inside a Korean Buddhist temple shrine hall, you can now appreciate them that much more. While they are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, they are also packed with the symbolic meaning of the Buddha’s enlightenment. And they act as a reminder that enlightenment is also possible for anyone at any time, as well.

This post covers what you need to know about jobs in Korea for foreigners.
It includes:
- How to find your first job
- The pros and cons of working in Korea
I got my first job in South Korea in 2006 and worked at a variety of companies. Here's what I learned from my experience.
Let's dive right in!
How to Get your First Job in South Korea as an Expat

To qualify for a basic work visa, you need:
- Passport
- Bachelor's Degree
- Clean criminal record
- Health screening
Step 2. Find the right job online
Decide which city you want to live in and what kind of work you want to do.
Check the company's reputation online. You can check some private English academies through Dave's ESL Cafe.

Be prepared to do a phone or video interview.
If you get the job, ask to see pictures of your housing.

- Your favorite spices

My experience working in South Korea
I worked in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do for 10 years, and started a business I've been running since 2013. I only had to apply for one job during that period (I've spent more time helping others find work). It was actually a position I found on monster.com in 2006, before leaving the states. Even though I didn't have much work experience, there were many options.
I found the best opportunities through networking.
While living in Korea, I found work as an actor, model, marketer, salesperson, translator, lecturer, and interviewer. I gave private English lessons to celebrities, CEOs, and high-ranking government officials. I even worked at a Stewardess Academy, a concept that doesn't exist in most countries.
Working in Korea provided me with a wealth of experience and a new perspective. I also learned the language and traveled all over the region.
It even helped me start a business, which I wouldn’t have done back home.
I highly recommend it for recent college graduates or anyone looking to make a change in their life.
What are the benefits of working in Korea?
There are many benefits to working in Korea.
With its natural beauty, ultra-modern cities and vibrant expat community, Korea is a great place to relocate.
There are many opportunities for English-speakers that you won't find at home.
It’s fun to live in Korea, especially in your twenties. There are enough neighborhoods with bars, clubs and restaurants to keep you busy for a decade.
In Fact:
You can have a high-standard of living in South Korea. Even for entry-level private academy jobs, the base salary is around 2 million KRW ($1,800) along with housing and insurance. This is enough to live comfortably and enjoy a variety of activities.
Korea has fast and convenient online shopping.
You can even save money in the process and spend it on travel in between contracts.
South Korea has an excellent healthcare system that will cost you about 100 USD a month.
You get paid one month's salary for every year you work. This is known as 퇴직금 or severance pay.
Many jobs pay for your flight into the country and flight home after a year.
Korea has very effective disease control measures and takes pandemics seriously. Infection rates are relatively low given the dense population.
Korea has a rich and unique culture that’s fascinating to learn about.
The country has something for everyone. Whether you're into nature, history, food, or K-dramas and K-pop, you'll never get bored.
Korea has a relatively low crime rate for a developed country. It's not uncommon for people to forget their laptops or wallets at a café and come back to find them untouched.
Violent crime is also very low, even in a densely-packed city like Seoul.
Education has been a priority in Korea for hundreds of years. Families can send their children to a range of international schools.
Korea has top universities as well. There are also ways to get your master’s degree for free at universities like Yonsei.
Seoul attracts expats from all over the world, so you’ll interact with a diverse group of people.
You won’t need a car in Seoul and most parts of the country.
Korea has a network of buses and a modern subway that can be accessed with one transportation card.
Since a round trip on public transport costs around 2 dollars, your transportation budget can be $50-100 dollars a month.
Expats can start a business once they have the right visa.
What are the drawbacks to working in Korea?
Life in Korea comes with many emotional peaks and valleys. There are times when it's the best place in the world, and times when you wish you were elsewhere. It's definitely not for the faint of heart. But, you'll never know until you try.
Working hours can be long and you're somewhat expected to stay longer (You can get away not doing this, but Koreans are pressured to stay until the boss leaves and sometimes even attend after-work gatherings).
Harmony and relationships are often more important that merit and results. This is a positive for some.
Politics might be part of your job description whether you like it or not. (Having Noonchi or intuition helps!)
Traffic can be an issue during commuting times in Seoul and even Busan. It’s often quicker to take the subway. Make sure to check how far your place is from work.
