Reflection #5: Bongwonsa Temple and Nature Walk

Religion explains the answers that we don't know. We seek it because people fear what they don't know. Religion explains life and why things are the way they are, and what happens after death. People are often very devout because they want to plan for a life after death. Religion gives us rules and morals so people can live together peacefully and breaking these rules can lead to a great consequence, which is why people spend lifetimes making sure they apply for a comfortable afterlife.

Taoism explains why nature is so vast, the rule is to let be because its only when there is animals interacting with nature do things not flow smoothly.

Hinduism promises that if you follow the rules you can live forever in nirvana, which is explained to be a wonderful place to be.

In the end religion is based on surviving, and comfort (peace of mind).
