Museoljeon Hall
Bulguksa Temple (map)
East Gyeongju, Korea

The symbolism of this hall, in connection with the nearby Daeungjeon (earlier pages), has been understood to mean that words (teachings) are not enough to convey enlightenment; it must also come from within (meditation). Like Bulguksa, most large Buddhist temple complexes in Asia contain at least a worship hall (image hall), lecture/recitation hall, and meditation hall, since these are the three main activities that occur in the temple.
