Cheoneun Temple

The painting in back of the main Buddha, with the Buddha removed. Look closely for what the Buddha statue was hiding. "He's Sariputra, one of the Buddha's 10 Disciples, and the one who always posed the questions... He is most often found posing questions in those huge outdoor hanging scrolls." (Thanks for that note, Brian, and for the pamphlet which the photo came from: Buddhist Hanging Scroll at Cheoneunsa Temple, 2010, Seoul: National Museum of Korea.)
