A temple by the sea. Waves crash to the shore. Wind gushes shake trees and lanterns. Free noodles are offered for lunch. The sea is blue and wide. So is the sky. And a zen nerd is in bliss.
In 2005, a fire ravaged Naksansa and destroyed almost all the centuries-old buildings and pine tree forest. Turned into ashes overnight. As our teacher once said, if you look closely at this life, you'll see no meaning, no reason, and no choice... But, he continued, if you truly attain what this realization is about, you'll get great meaning, great reason, and great choice. So the temple was destroyed. Then, reconstruction started and is continuing.
