Today, we learned about Shilla. Actually, The place we were supposed to go were closed, so we went to National Museum of Korea. I was interested in stories of Buddhism. I would like to tell you the legend of Bulguksa and Seokguram. This legend goes with the building of these two monuments. Dae-Seong claimed in his recent, but previous life, he had been a  poor man. One day, a Buddist Monk said "Why don't you make a donation to the temple? Then Buddha will bless you." Dae-Seong donated every thing he had, but died few days later. The night he died, Kim -Moon-Yang, the minister heard a heavenly voice say, "You will have a boy reborn from Mo-Ryang-Li, his name was Dae-Seong". He visited Mo-Ryang-Li and brought Dae-Seong's mother with him. They lived happily ever after. Dae-Seong grew up and was welll educated and later, he became prime minister. He built Bulguksa for his present life parents and built Seokguram for his past life parents.

  I woulld like to tell you about Hwarangdo too. Hwarangdo means 'beautiful male'. But you might wonder, 'Why boys? Girls fit to the word, 'beautiful'. ' Like you said, at first,Hwarangdo's leaders were girls, not boys.This system was called 'Won-Hwa-Je-Do'. The leader's names were Nam-Mo and Jun-Jung. But the girls did not like each other, because each wanted to be the only leader.At first, they tried to kill each other with poisons.Finally Jun-Jung killed Nam-Mo by pushing her off the bridge that crossed the river. This deed was revealed, and Hwarangdo's leaders became boys.
