Tomb of the King, Munmu |
|
|
| |
| |
King Munmu willed that his body be cremated
in a simple funeral ceremony and that his remains be buried
under the large rock off the east shore at Gampo.
The rock is now called Daewangam. The surrounding pillars
of rocks form a placid pond.

This pavilion, looking out on Daewangam Rock, is where King
Sinmun was said to have seen the dragon, King Munmu's incarnation.
It is also said that he was given 'manpasikjeok,' a legendary
flute, which has power to ease disturbances in the world. |
