Another piece of Buddhist heritage from my hometown Cheongju. This Koryŏ dynasty statue of Śākyamuni enshrined in Yonghwasa 龍華寺 has an image of an arhat carved on its back. The structure housing the statue has an opening in the back so people can make offerings to the image.

清凉寺木造毘沙門天坐像：平安時代後期の制作と考えられる。毘沙門天の図像としては珍しく、左脚を踏み下げて座すものである。比較的過小評価されていた仏像であり、重要文化財に指定されたのは2009年度である。

神童寺蔵王権現像：神童寺は聖徳太子（厩戸王）が創建し、役小角（修験道の祖）が景観を整えたとされる寺院。修験道の行場として古代は栄えたものの山寺であるため、交通網が発達する以前は参拝が困難であった

As Singapore moves to repeal Section 377A, some friends asked me about Buddhist perspective on LGBT issues. I would say that Buddhist leaders across lineages and traditions are generally supportive of LGBT rights. 1/
