慶州佛國寺

曾是新羅古都的慶州,保留了不少古都遺迹。
當中最具代表的,可說是有近1,500年歷史、於1995年被列入世界文化遺產的佛國寺。

早於公元528年已出現的佛國寺,內裏不少殿、塔和橋都是在公元751年,新羅景德王在位時所興建,千多年來經歷過無數戰火洗禮(1593年被日軍大肆破壞,可說是最重傷的一次),木建築早已盡毀,只有多座石塔,包括多寶塔、釋迦塔、舍利塔和銅製的佛像得以殘存,經過多次修建,才有現在的規模。

穿過寺廟的山門,是一條長長的參拜道,途經大蓮池、石拱橋、天王門、紫霞門等,才到達寺的中心大雄殿。

除了大雄殿,還有無說殿、觀音殿及毘盧殿等多座大殿,觀音殿及毘盧殿分別供奉觀世音菩薩及國寶金銅毘盧舍那佛坐像,而無說殿則是講說佛經、弘揚佛法的地方。

The Brothers Four-Try to Remember



Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green And grain was yellow

Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender And callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow

Try to remember When life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow

Try to remember the kind of September
When love was an ember About to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow, follow

Deep in December It's nice to remember
Although you know The snow will follow
Deep in December It's nice to remember
Without the hurt the heart is hollow

Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September That made us mellow
Deep in December Our hearts should remember
then follow, follow, follow
