△ Donghwasa Temple Stay △ BeophwabogungIf you want a trip that can heal your mind by leaving your ordinary life for a while, try temple stay at Donghwasa where you can recharge yourself.
You will learn simple temple courtesies, and participate in alms bowl meal temple rituals. At night, there is a session of conversation where you can sit around with the monks then ask and answer questions with them. I suggest temple stay to all those who want to clear their minds.

A Healing Prescription Flavored with Nature, Temple Food Experience Center
If you are curious about the monk’s way of maintaining a healthy mind and body, Temple Food Experience Center is a must-visit place for you.
Temple Food Experience Center, which just opened up last May, hosts a program every Sunday at 11 AM where you can make traditional temple food yourself. Artificial spices and five spicy vegetables with strong scent are not used in making temple food which has a plain and clean taste.
