Prayer Mountain : ウィキペディア英語版
Prayer Mountain
Prayer Mountain is a facility built on a piece of elevated, privately owned land for the purpose of prayer, meditation and fasting. The practice of building such a facility is probably rooted in religious monasticism and its monasteries, where entering monks renounces worldly connections to devote themselves solely to spiritual learning and development.
Monastic life plays an important role in many Christian churches, especially in the Catholic and Orthodox traditions. Similarly, the practice of monasticism is evident in other religious faiths, most notably in Buddhism, although the expression differs considerably.
==History==
The modern practice of building and maintaining Prayer Mountain facilities was birthed in South Korea, where an intense prayer culture sprang by necessity among South Korean Christians of the late 1800s. Faced by strong opposition from the state religions and philosophies, namely Buddhism and Confucianism, as well as the mandatory imposition of Shinto by the invading Japanese forces, Korean Christians who resisted were subjected to persecution and even public execution. In desperation, these Christians ascended nearby mountains during the early hours before dawn to fast and intercede for their country before God. At sundown, they would again ascend these mountain to continue their prayers.
Anyone who has attended Church in South Korea is familiar with their unique way of praying as a congregation(Tunseung-Kido) - they tend to wail as if they are storming heaven intensely with their petitions. This practice is probably a remnant of those days when they cry before God atop the mountains. It was said that anyone who passed by these mountains would hear the agonizing cries of the people, as if the mountains themselves were weeping for Korea. From then on, prayer and fasting have been the hallmark of the strong South Korean Church.
