In Hadong, Gyeongsangnam-do, there lives Monk Ja-eung, who has been farming and practicing Zen alone for 30 years. Since becoming a monk in 1984, the monk has been staying at Ja-hye Jeongsa Temple in Hwagaegol because he loves Jirisan Mountain. Monk Ja-eung is busy washing radish in the Seokgansu to make dongchimi in the winter. He says he makes dongchimi in a crock buried in the ground, hoping that it will be a plentiful food source in the winter. Monk Ja-eung goes to a cave to practice Zen at 3 o'clock in the dark morning of a cold winter. The path feels like stepping on jewels. The sound of bamboo rain announcing the start and end of the beautiful Pohaenggil Buddhist service, which is like stars embroidered on the black sky with sparkling frost, echoes through Ja-hye Jeongsa Temple, making it seem as if all the mountains, rivers, and trees of Hwagaegol have become one. The monk who boiled the radish brought from the organic vegetable garden grown using natural farming methods and made an offering to the Buddha in gratitude is filled with a peaceful heart wishing for a safe new year. ✔ Program name: Korean Travel - With you Part 4 Hwagaegol Monk's New Year ✔ Broadcast date: 2021.01.07 #GolladyeonDocumentary #KoreanTravel #Jirisan #Hwagaegol #Monk #Hermetic #NewYear #NewYear
