Pyramid in South Korea
10km away from the centre of Chungiu (충주) city, on a fine view hill at the western edge of Mokgye-ri (목계리) village, there is a solitary temple like a monastery. Behind (on the left) the front wooden building, a strange cairn stands.
This might be the evolved form of the Buddhist proto-pagoda in Korea and would have developed into the ultimate form.
The old and unpretentious monk and his wife may entertain the visitors from the underworld with cups of coffee (the Korean people are fond of coffee and treking). Please do not mistake for another Buheung-sa temple in the heart of Chungiu (충주) city.
