Modern Religious Experience: Reflection #5: Bongwonsa Temple and Nature Walk

Modern Religious Experience: Reflection #5: Bongwonsa Temple and Nature Walk: "After visiting the Zen Buddhist Temple, Bongwonsa and attempting to see nature as a Taoist, answer this question: What is it about creation,..."

It is the mystery of life that makes people rely on religions. All the people who depend on religions follow it because they want to find out the mysteries of life, and truth of the beginning of nature. I think it is the mystery and the uncertain fact of nature and creation interests people to seek answers for. Some of these matters can be had to understand. So I think that people turn towards religions, which answer some of these questions. The Hindu law of Karma tell us that people are reborn into a lower or higher level of goodness. This partially explains where we go after death. I think people are willing to spend their time worshipping creations, like the Buddhist temples because they know by meditation they are clearing their minds. The Buddhists would worship their creations, the Buddha halls and the statue of the Bodhisattva so they could learn that they actually impact their lives. Like the monk in the temple told us, some people cured their cancer by praying to the Buddha. The worshiping of the creations would be for reaching Nirvana, and for worshipping the Buddha that would help you achieve your desires.
