The exhibition Sutra and Box: Vessels of Enlightenment highlights two outstanding masterpieces from the Goryeo Dynasty: a handwritten Buddhist manuscript and an intricately crafted sutra box. The seven volumes of the Lotus Sutra, written and illustrated entirely in gold, are presented in this exhibition. They reflect the ardent aspirations of the people of the time and offer visitors an opportunity to appreciate these priceless works. According to the votive inscription in the sutra, it was dedicated with utmost devotion in the first year of the reign of King Chungmok (1345) of the Goryeo Dynasty by a noblewoman of the highest rank. By means of the merit derived from this work, she hoped to ensure the royal family’s well-being and enlightenment.
Also on display is the Sutra Box, an illustrative work of Goryeo mother-of-pearl inlay of which only about twenty examples are known to exist. This exquisite box is decorated with countless finely cut mother-of-pearl fragments that are intricately arranged to form various floral patterns. Fine metal wires were used to prevent the inlay from falling out and to represent the stems between the flowers, demonstrating the blend of artistry and functionality that is the quintessence of Goryeo artisanry. This exhibition provides a meaningful opportunity to deeply understand the value and significance of these masterpieces created through a grand union of faith and art.

It&#39;s owned by Samsung family, that&#39;s why you can see many arts and Korean middle age relics for free. Employees are also kind.

I have been looking for a long time to change the ticket. In fact, it is better to plan it above. It is better to climb the road. It is completely OK to rely on two legs. If you are old or your knees are not good, go down the mountain and take the cable car.

Very satisfied, every time I go to Seoul, I go to Aibao Paradise. Although Fubao has returned home, there are other pandas and grandpas. In addition to Panda Paradise, there are many outdoor amusement projects, and the dining price is reasonable.

The show is really wonderful! ! ! I bought 20 o&#39;clock, and I can pick up the ticket at 19:30. They are all packed in the envelope in advance and tell the name of the front desk lady. You can&#39;t take pictures and videos throughout the whole process, but it&#39;s really wonderful. I can&#39;t express it in words hahaha. Fortunately, I have interacted, so happy, be bold, as long as you reach out, you will basically hit your palms with you 🖐🏻

What attractions are worth visiting in Seoul? I guess it&#39;s Gyeongbokgung Palace. Gyeongbokgung Palace, Cheong Wa Dae, Korean Folk Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art are connected together. You can go and visit them together. The whole Gyeongbokgung Palace is quite large, a bit like the Temple of Heaven. The ticket is 3,000 won. If you wear traditional Korean clothes, you can get free tickets. It takes about an hour to walk around. It&#39;s nice to take pictures everywhere.
