甲寺—韩国寺院

　　甲寺
　　甲寺位于距离光州市19公里的国立公园鸡龙山上。百济(234-678)420年，由阿道和尚创建并遗留下来的甲寺，因保存有大量的文化遗产而闻名。
　　甲寺停车场旁有商家、售票处和一柱门。 停车场距离甲寺不足2公里（5里），连接两地的这条路就是有名的5里林。
　　春天，沿途都是盛开的红梅花，夏天则被郁郁苍苍的丛林掩盖。 到了冬天，枫叶转红，景色就更美了。来到甲寺，最先跃入眼帘的是悬挂着一块大匾额的甲寺讲堂，匾额上写着鸡龙甲寺几个蓝色大字。一般的寺庙里都不会另设讲堂，而甲寺讲堂却是例外，令人感到非常奇特。讲堂旁边是甲寺铜钟所在的铜钟阁，后边是大雄殿，前边左侧则是表忠院和八相殿。表忠院是安放壬辰倭乱(1954年 4月- 1957年 4月 与日本的战争)时著名的僧兵将西山大师、四溟大师和灵圭大师画像的地方。据说，灵圭大师在壬辰倭乱时率领僧兵曾吃了不少苦，表忠院就是为纪念他而修建的。表忠院上是八相殿，这里悬挂的八相图是根据佛教将人的一生分成八个部分绘制而成的。表忠院和八相殿所在地是整个甲寺里枫叶最漂亮的地方。沿着甲寺前的路一直往前走就能看到鸡龙山登山道。距离甲寺不远还有一家传统的茶馆，茶馆旁边是一条美丽的溪谷。跨过溪谷就来到了功牛塔，塔旁的路一直延伸至大寂殿和铁幢竿。两个幢竿支柱间耸立着的铁桶原有28个，高宗时倒了4个，现在就只剩24个了。

　　秋天甲寺的风光尤其美丽。枫树、银杏树还有阔叶树交织在一起，构成秋天自然的红枫美景
　　Gapsa Temple is located in Mt. Gyeryongsan National Park, about 19km from Gongju-si. It was established by monk Adohwasang in 420, during the Baekje Period (234-678), and is a well known temple for acquiring numerous cultural treasures.
　　Once you pass the parking lot, you will come across a market area, the ticketing booth, and then pass through Iljumun, the main gate. The parking lot to Gapsa Temple is less than 2km, but the road passes a famous area known as Ori Forest. In the spring, the apricot flowers bloom, and in the summer, lush green forest covers the area. In the fall, the leaves turn into beautiful hue of crimson red to create a spectacular view of the road. When you enter Gapsa, the first thing that will catch your eye is the temple’s lecture hall. There is a big sign with words written in blue, “Gyeryonggapsa”, at the entrance of the building. Tt is part of Gapsa’s uniqueness as it cannot be seen elsewhere. To one side of the lecture hall is the Dongjonggak, which houses the Dongjong (copper bell). Daeungjeon, the main building, is behind the lecture hall. If you go left from Gapsa’s lecture hall, there are the Pyochungwon and Palsangjeon buildings. Pyochungwon is where portraits of the high priests Yeong-Gyu, Sa-Myeong, and Seo-San, (who also served as monk-soldiers during the Imjinwaeran war with Japan in 1592-1598 ) are kept. High priest Yeong-Gyu, especially, took lead in leading monks to become soldiers. Pyochungwon was created to honor them. Above Pyochungwon stands the Palsanjeon building. It is so named because Palsangdo, on which the life of Buddha was divided into eight parts and described with pictures, is preserved here. The spot where these two building are is the most beautiful area to view the autumn leaves. If you keep following the road past Gapsa Temple, the Gyeryongsan Mountain trail walk appears. There is a traditional Teahouse nearby, and the valley beside the place is also very beautiful. Across the valley you can see Gongu Tower. Follow the road going off to one side of the Gongu tower and Daejeokjeon, as well as Cheoldanggan will appear. Cheoldanggan is what is raised up between two Danggan pillars. Originally there were 28 Cheoltongs connected t each other, but four of them broke during Go-Jong’s reign, and now there are only 24 Cheoltongs left.
　　Gapsa is famous for its beauty during the fall. Maple trees, gingko trees, and numerous other trees with large leaves are planted, and they create a very natural and beautiful autumn landscape.
