Description

Geumdangsa (금당사 - Buddhist Temple) in the Maisan (Hourse Ear Mountain) in Jinan County, North Jeolla Province, South Korea.

Gwaebultang, Goddess of Mercy (portrait), painted 1682, at Geumdangsa is a representative example of a hanging Buddhist painting. The painting measures 9 meters/30 feet high and 5 meters/16.4 feet wide.

In the past whenever this area experienced an extended drought, the Geumdangsa monks would gather and conduct prayer rituals appealing for rain in the presence of the painting, which consistently resulted in a rainfall shortly thereafter.
