Photo by @irablockphoto (Ira Block) The Golden Pavilion, Kinkaku-ji, or Rokuon-ji is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. The structure has been burnt down many times since it was built in the late 14th century. The most recent fire was set by a fanatic monk in 1950. The temple was restored in 1955 and has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage site. @thephotosociety @natgeocreative #goldenpavilion #kinkakuji #rokuonji #buddhism #kyoto #serenity #sonya7ii by natgeo http://ift.tt/1JwfkIc – Gatlinburg Garden Castle Rainbow Tower Library Imagination Station Temple Water Spirit Guardian Labyrinth Treasury Magic Healing
