If you walk along the bamboo forest path from Songgwangsa Temple, you will come across a simple hermitage. It is Bul-il-am, built by the monk Beopjeong, who is well known for his spirit of non-possession, “When you have nothing, you can finally have the whole world.” It is the same as when the monk Beopjeong lived, with a small main building of 14 pyeong (approximately 3 rooms), a lower hall made of recycled materials from an old hermitage, and a traditional shelter. What did the monk Beopjeong realize in this small and uncomfortable house? The first disciple that the monk Beopjeong took in at the age of 52, the monk Deokjo. Following the master’s will to “live for exactly 10 years,” the monk Deokjo is practicing alone at Bul-il-am. Why did the master leave such a will? The inscription on the ridgepole, handwritten by the monk Beopjeong, reads, “A person with many dreams and a tongue cannot live.” You can read the master’s will in that writing, which is being revealed to the world for the first time. And here’s another thing! They even show us a mysterious document featuring André Kim. Let's go to Bul-il-am, the house of no ownership. #ArchitectureExplorationHouse #HouseBuiltedbyMonkBeopjeong #Bul-il-am #HouseofNoOwnership #Songgwangsa #MonkBeopjeong #MonkDeokjo #ArchitectNoEunju #ArchitectKimHomin
