108 freakin’ beads

Beomeosa Temple Stay

Where I establish that I am already a failed Buddhist monk.

Day 6 included a stay at a Buddhist temple.

And by stay I mean get up at 5:30 am, meditate, climb a mountain, meditate…

There there were the beads. 108 beads. Stand up, full bow, add one bead to the string.

Even the Buddha was tired after the beads.
