Modern Religious Experience: Reflection #5: Bongwonsa Temple and Nature Walk

Modern Religious Experience: Reflection #5: Bongwonsa Temple and Nature Walk: "After visiting the Zen Buddhist Temple, Bongwonsa and attempting to see nature as a Taoist, answer this question: What is it about creation,..."

As I was looking and walking around the Zen Buddhist Temple, Bongwonsa, I was amazed at what humans could create. Every craving, painting, statues, and scriptures were perfectly made, without any mistakes. This then lead me to think that people seek out religion to find out the true meaning of life. Our lives are full of mystery that cannot be unraveled. We have so little answer to the meaning of our world. Scientists have been researching about this topic, and some do say that God has made Earth. By researching, many scientists who used to be an atheist began to follow a religion. I think people spend time looking for an answer to this question because everything here on this Earth and in space is too extravagant for a human being to make. There probably was nothing in the beginning, because everything gets built from scratch. As a Christian, I believe that God has made everything to begin with. Also like how Buddhists and Hindus believe that they get reincarnated, I believe that I will get sent to heaven if I follow God, and his son, Jesus Christ. Although not enough information shows proof about what happens after one's death, this is what I believe. This is the only answer to death. Similar to death, life is confusing too. Why are we still breathing right now? Why are we still awake? How is it that we can learn so quickly? My answer to this is, our brain. The brain that God has made. The brain is a beautiful creation by God. Without this, we would be nothing. By following a religion, I start questioning myself, and then it gets answered through God. I think this is why we seek out religion, because it is like Google, a source that gives us many answers.
