Each year is naturally divided into four seasons. Temple life, ever as close to nature as possible, follows the seasons and Korea's climate has a sharp distinction between the very cold, dry winter, the balmy spring and autumn and the humid, sweltering summer. Thus the summer and winter are reserved for meditation and retreat, and the spring and autumn for wandering, seeking instruction and doing service.
The ordained members of the Sangha have their own distinctive robes. Based on traditional Korean clothes, the season are well accommodated.
