The Tripitaka Koreana - carved on 81258 woodblocks in the 13th century - is the most successful large data transfer over time yet achieved by humankind. 52 million characters of information, transmitted over nearly 8 centuries with zero data loss - an unequalled achievement.
The Tripitaka Koreana, stored in Haeinsa, a Buddhist temple in Gayasan National Park, South Korea, is the most comprehensive and oldest version of the
Buddhist canon, with no known errors in its 52 330 152 characters which are organized in over 1496 titles and 6568 volumes.
Serendipitous data transmission over centuries occurs of course in libraries, but the Tripitaka Koreana is a single uniformly produced series of texts, and the obsessive levels of care taken in its production and storage leave no doubt it was created with eternity in mind.
Each wood block measures 24 centimeters in height and 70 centimeters in length. The thickness of the blocks ranges from 2.6 to 4 centimeters and each weighs about three to four kilograms. The woodblocks are in pristine condition despite being created more than 750 years ago.
Next, the blocks were placed in the shade and exposed to the wind for three years, at which point they were finally ready to be carved. After each block was carved, it was covered in a poisonous lacquer to keep insects away and then framed with metal to prevent warping.
The woodblocks would form a pile 2.74 km high if stacked, measure 60 km long when lined up, and weigh 280 tons in total.
There's no fixed way to calculate this, but 52 million carved Chinese characters is around two gigabytes of information. So the Tripitaka Koreana has transmitted two gigabytes of data over nearly 8 centuries with no corruption or loss: nothing else created by man comes close.
Work on the first Tripitaka Koreana began in 1011 during the Goryeo-Khitan War and was completed in 1087.
The act of carving the 6000 woodblocks was considered to be a way of bringing about a change in fortune by invoking the Buddha's help.

It's hard to translate 1-to-1, but I imagine it would take place in a temple like Haeinsa instead of the abbey. I like the idea of the depositories for the Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks taking the place of the scriptorium, and the development of Hangul vs traditional Hanja being like the invention of the printing press and modern secular thought in Bavaria at the time.

Ngôi chùa Phật giáo và sự hòa quyện giữa thiên nhiên và kiến trúc tại Hàn Quốc
Tumblr media
Các ngôi chùa Phật giáo ở Hàn Quốc không chỉ nổi bật với kiến trúc cổ điển mà còn với vị trí đắc địa, hòa mình vào cảnh quan thiên nhiên tươi đẹp. Từ những ngọn đồi xanh mát đến những dãy núi hùng vĩ, mỗi ngôi chùa đều mang trong mình một câu chuyện về sự kết hợp hài hòa giữa con người và thiên nhiên, tạo nên những điểm đến linh thiêng và thanh tịnh.
Chi tiết về từng ngôi chùa
Bulguksa: Được xây dựng trên một sườn đồi, Bulguksa là biểu tượng của sự hòa hợp giữa kiến trúc và thiên nhiên. Những ngôi chùa và tháp đá cổ kính nằm giữa những hàng cây xanh rợp bóng, tạo nên một bức tranh thiên nhiên tuyệt đẹp. Mỗi mùa, Bulguksa lại khoác lên mình một vẻ đẹp khác biệt: mùa xuân với hoa anh đào nở rộ, mùa thu với lá vàng rực rỡ, và mùa đông với tuyết trắng phủ đầy.
Haeinsa: Chùa Haeinsa được bao quanh bởi những dãy núi Gaya hùng vĩ, tạo nên một khung cảnh thiên nhiên tráng lệ. Những tòa nhà bằng gỗ của chùa hòa quyện với màu xanh của núi rừng, tạo nên một không gian tĩnh lặng và thiêng liêng.

Beomeosa: Beomeosa nằm trên dãy núi Geumjeongsan, một khu vực nổi tiếng với cảnh quan thiên nhiên tươi đẹp. Ngôi chùa được xây dựng trên những tầng đá tự nhiên, và những con đường dẫn lên chùa được bao phủ bởi rừng cây xanh mát. Từ trên cao, du khách có thể ngắm nhìn toàn cảnh thành phố Busan và biển cả từ xa, tạo nên một trải nghiệm khó quên.
Giá trị văn hóa và tâm linh
Thiên nhiên không chỉ là phông nền cho các ngôi chùa Phật giáo tại Hàn Quốc, mà còn là yếu tố then chốt trong việc định hình giá trị văn hóa và tâm linh. Các nhà sư tin rằng sự hòa hợp với thiên nhiên giúp con người tìm lại sự cân bằng và thanh tịnh trong tâm hồn. Mỗi ngôi chùa đều được xây dựng theo nguyên tắc phong thủy, nhằm tối đa hóa sự hòa hợp giữa con người và thiên nhiên, từ đó mang lại sự thịnh vượng và bình an.
Việc tham quan các ngôi chùa Phật giáo ở Hàn Quốc không chỉ đơn thuần là một hành trình du lịch, mà còn là một trải nghiệm tâm linh sâu sắc.
