The Bell of Seokguram Resonates Through the Valley

Surrounded by lush pine forests, sunlight occasionally filters through, casting slanted rays onto the stone steps. Birdsong echoes near and far, while the wind gently stirs the leaves, as if nature itself treads lightly, unwilling to disturb. Suddenly, a bell chime rings out from the mountain. Deep and resonant, it descends like mist from the summit, passing through branches, through the air, and into the hearts of those who hear it. It is not a sound that disrupts but one that brings a profound stillness. The lingering echoes of the bell weave around trees and stones, reverberating through the valley, refusing to fade. It feels as though the entire mountain is listening to its voice. And as if, for a moment, time itself has paused.
