The Hall Praying for the Dead, Myengbu-jeon

The one of the impressive building in Gaesim-sa was the hall for the dead. The name of the hall was Myeonbu-jeon, here Myeongbu means the dark world where the dead stay at.
Another name of Myeongbu-jeon is Jijang-jeon.

Myeongbu-jeon is consisted of One Jijang Bodhisattva and 10 Kings judging sins of the dead.

The reason made me interesting in this hall was the expression of the Kings.
Their face was as same as that of ordinary people.

There are two dreadful generals standing at the gate.

Sometimes I saw the smiling face of 10 kings, but reminding me of ordinary people' face was the first case in this temple.
