SOKKURAM GROTTO - KOREA
Kim Tae-song was made Sokkuram Cave at the same time as Pulguksa Temple - about 751 AD. The man-made cave houses one of the most beautiful Buddha statues in the world. High up on Mt. T'ohamsan, behind Pulguksa Temple, this nine-meter-high, domed rotunda, which was built to represent the Buddhist world, also contains thirty-nine Bodhisattvas, the Buddha Sakyamuni's ten enlightened disciples, gods and guardians.
