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,..."

I think that on the field trip it really made me realize that nature is a big part of religion and how people see their own ways. I think the nature in general is peaceful and helps people concentrate better- like with the fig tree and how the man sat under it for so long it makes you kind of think about how nature can work in you and work inside of your mind to help you rid of sins or rid of things you don't want to think about. So overall, i think nature makes people want to use it in their rituals or their every day routines because of the influence from maybe other religions.
