	Korean Buddhist Sculpture
		Seokguram is located near the tummit of Mt. Tohamsan, east of the historic city of Gyeongju, capital of the Silla dynasty (57B.C.-A.D.935).
		Whoever the patron or whatever the motivation, Seokguram was apparently designed as a private chapel for royalty considering its scale, philosophical depth and aesthetic standard, whereas Bulguksa, a grand complex of various worship halls and pagodas, was intended as a state monastery to serve the public.
		Seokguram is meticulously designed to guide the faithful into the holy and of the Buddha, a mysterious spiritual journey to the realm of nirvana in a limited span of time and space.

	Korean Architecture: Seokguram (Sokkuram) grotto, Gyeongju
		Seokguram temple is an artificial cave grotto fashioned in the hills above Bulguksa temple.
		Historical references to the Seokguram are nonexistent but for a single account recorded in the Samguk Yusa (Legends of the Three Kingdoms) written by the monk Iryon in the 14th century.
		Proponents of this theory have amassed compelling evidence, such as the proximity of the Seokguram to the underwater tomb of King Munmu, which is known to have been built to resist Japanese invasion.

	SEOKGURAM NOTES
		Seokguram Grotto, believed to be the eastern terminal of the old Silk Road, is located a considerable distance up Mt. T'oham from Bulguksa Temple in Kyoungju National Park, South Korea.
		The artistic importance of Seokguram's stone carvings is readily apparent, as the main rotunda, just beyond two imposing pillars with lotus-design bases, is made of large blocks of granite.
		Carved during the middle of the 8th century during the reign of the Silla King Kyongdok, Seokguram Grotto's grandeur is definitely related to the increased spreading of Buddhism as a ruling ideology.

		Seokguram comprises a rectangular antechamber and a round interior chamber with a domed ceiling connected by a rectangular passageway.

		The Seokguram was modeled after the stone cave temples of China, but in China these were cut into the face of natural rock cliffs, whereas the Seokguram is a man-made stone grotto designed as a setting for the worship of a principal statue of Buddha.
		The Seokguram has a rectangular antechamber and a circular interior chamber with a domed ceiling formed from carefully cut blocks of stone.
		To be sure, in their roundness of face and ampleness of body there is evidence of influence from Tang Buddhist sculpture, but the Seokguram examples suggest a deeper sense of spiritual beauty.
