Seok Bul temple is located on GeumJeong mountain (금정산), a large mountain in northern Busan.
On the southern face of GeumJeong mountain, from Mandeok pass (만덕고개) an unusual rock structure can be seen.
Upon closer examination, it is possible to distinguish buildings beside the rock structure.
Following a narrow mountain road,
that twists and turns around boulders and ridges,
Stone Buddha temple can be reached
After passing through the temple's gate,
one enters the temple yard,
and one is immediately struck by the beauty of this place.
The main temple building stands out from the others, as a large rock structure towers behind it.
And unlike the buildings of other temples, it is made of bricks, not wood.
Behind the main building, on the face of GeumJeong mountain, there are a number of remarkable Buddhist sculptures.
A prayer alter is located directly below one of them.
In the back, there is a small stairwell leading upwards to another small prayer space.
At the top of the stairs, there is a narrow space between two large boulders...
leading to the heart of the mountain...
On the lunar new year, there were many visitors there. But in the winter cold, it felt serene and had a sacred air. What a beautiful and special place!
