Gyeongju Bulguksa Geumdong Amita Pass Gyeongju Bulguksa Temple was founded by Kim Dae-sung, a 10-year-old king in Gyeongdeok, Gyeonggi-do (751). According to Samguk Yusa, Kim Dae-sung built Bulguksa for the parents of this world and Seokgulam Grottoes for the parents of the past life. Geumdong Amitabha Statue is a 1.66m high statue that was enshrined in Bulguksa paradise. A small conch-shaped hair is cleverly attached to the head, and a crust-like head (chicken) rises near the crown. The smooth and merciful face faces straight, the eyebrows are semi-circular and the nose is straight. The body expression is reminiscent of a majestic and strong male body, with both knees spreading wide to give a very stable feeling. Clothing that exposes the right shoulder and spans only the left shoulder is inscribed with unpleasant creases, especially the folding of the clothes that hang down from the inside of the collar. The left hand, which is slightly lifted to shoulder height, shows the palm of the hand, the right hand is placed on the knee, and the thumb and middle fingers are slightly bent. You can get a realistic and sophisticated image of the Buddha in the unified Silla era, with open shoulders, a stately chest, and a narrow waist. It is called Unification Shilla 3rd Geumdong Buddha. -National Treasure No. 27 -Unified Silla
