Cheongnyeonam Hermitage

Beomeosa Temple
Busan, Korea

Cheongnyeonam is one of eleven hermitages attached to the temple. It is a modern foundation, associated with the Seonmudo martial arts revival; the hall seen in the top photo is decorated with paintings of practitioners. Information about the hermitage can be found under two different spellings: Cheongnyeonam (RR) = Chungryunam (McR)

Two statues, each making Vairocana's "knowledge fist" mudra, occupy lotus thrones in front of a worship hall.

A fine, large incense burner rests on a dragon base.
