Iljumun is the first gate at the entrance to many Korean Buddhist temples. Called the "One-Pillar Gate", because when viewed from the side the gate appears to be supported by a single pillar. This symbolizes the one true path of enlightenment which supports the world.〔 (The First Gate of the Temple ), ''temple.pomosa.com''. Access date: June 12, 2010.〕 It is the boundary between the Buddhist temple and a human's worldly life.〔 The gate symbolizes purification and one must leave all of their worldly desires before entering the temple.〔 The oneness is also a metaphor for non-duality (unity) in spirit and heart. An image of an iljumun appears on the obverse of the Korean Service Medal. ==See also== *Hongsalmun, secular portal 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iljumun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
