Recently, I had a chance to visit Haeinsa, the Zen Buddhist temple in South Korea\'s South Kyongsan province, in the district of Hapchon, after an impromptu invitation from some Korean friends in Daegu. I took part in the temple stay program, which is about a 24 hour program to learn about what life is like at a temple.

It was a very good in experience in that in a very short amount of time, I felt like I got a good view into the life of a buddhist monk. The temple stay offers some instructions on the proper etiquette, such as how to bow and do prostrations. There were several opportunities to have conversations with the monks, both in Korean and in English. I also got to see what a Buddhist service is like, in addition to getting a full tour of the temple and learning about its history.

As a foreigner who comes from a place where my family has a very short history, it is striking to be in a place which has a much longer history. There are buildings and even trees that are hundreds of years old. The thought that this space has protected, guided, and created the environment for deep thought, meditation, and spiritual growth for such a long time was with me for my entire visit and I felt like I became a small and humble part of it.

I also appreciated the tranquility. After 9 o\'clock in the evening, the temple goes to sleep in order to rise very early. I woke up at about 2:45 am in order to get to the early service, become a part of the drums, and do the one hundred eight prostrations. I felt like I experienced many things in a short amount of time.

Visiting the Haeinsa was certainly a worthwhile experience and I felt like I got to know Korea a lot better.
