Golgulsa temple stay

Today we took the subway to Seoul Station and then a two-hour KTX bullet train ride to Gyeongju where we stayed overnight at a buddhist temple in traditional ondol rooms (translates to ‘we got to sleep on the floor’).

The templestay also included sunmudo (meditative martial arts) demonstrations and training, traditional vegetarian meals, and we were able to take part in the evening 108 prostrations and morning chanting service.
