Guksadang temple

Guksadang temple

The syncretism between Buddhism and Shamanism is more or less important in Korea.
Thus, one often finds the spirit of the mountain (from shamanism) in Buddhist temples and vice versa shamanistic worship places have Buddhist temples but the difference is that there is also worship to other spirits and elements of nature. Shamans (mostly women) carry out guts, ceremonies to attract the favors of the spirits and "cure" the persons requesting it.
