Your fundamental mind, your true self is invisibly connected to all things in the world and through it all things communicate with each other and work together as one. In this way, the whole universe is functioning together as one through fundamental mind, so this working together is called One Mind (Hanmaum).
-Dae Haeng Kun Sunim
Sometimes, you just have to look up, and there’s a teaching waiting for you!
My name is Joseph Bengivenni but I usually go by the moniker Ox Herder online.
I’m a Canadian artist, photographer, and writer who has been living in Korea since 2005. During that time, I developed a deep appreciation for Korea’s mountains and the ‘Sansa’, Mountain Temples, found within them.
In recent years, I’ve focused my efforts on documenting Korea’s official list of traditional temples and hermitages. Of the 991 on the list, I’ve currently visited 560 of them. I consider it my life-long pilgrimage. Follow me here or @oxherder.photography on Instagram as I continue this ongoing journey.

I suppose, I could be criticized for saying “look up” (although I did say sometimes…) Really, you could look anywhere! ^_^
That’s a great image, Joseph!
Thanks~ It makes me think of a Korean dragon…
A majestic mountain is form by many trees, stones, rocks, wildlife, the sky of cloud, the sun that light, the streams running, the sound of nature etc…and an appreciative mind.
Truly the beauty of many bodies, one in mind in spirit.
When people treasure each other as unique individuals, transcending all differences and bring out the best in each other for a good cause.
