[edit] History
The name “Goryeo Tripitaka” comes from the time of manufacture, namely the Goryeo Dynasty. Tripitaka is a reference for the edition of Tripitaka Tionghoa.
Tripitaka Koreana was first carved in 1087 when Goryeo was experiencing an invasion by the Khitan (the period of Goryeo-Khitan War Third). For it is intended to help the Korean Buddha against penginvasi.
Original set of wooden molds destroyed during the Mongol invasion of Korea in 1232, when the capital was moved to the island nation Ganghwa for nearly 30 years of Mongol rule, although some of its parts still remain. Gojong then ordered it again; which took 16 years, from 1236 until 1251, with support from the Choe clan, and the monks of the sect involved Seon and Kyo. The second revision is what is called the Tripitaka Koreana. In the year 1398, these works moved to Haeinsa and made a special library today.
Rise to the North
Travel To Australia November 11th, 2009

Long enough to stay in Western Australia, but our family never walk to the north, which local people used to call go up north. More often we spend time off to the south or go down south. About the title up north (from Perth to the direction of Cervantes, Geraldton to Broome) and down south (from Perth to Mandurah to Albany direction) itself, I do not know their origins, because according to the feeling of traveling to the north did not rise, so does the direction Southern did not decrease.
Upon hearing the news that a graduate student organization in Western Australia (AIPSSA) will organize a picnic together to Pinnacles, I immediately signed up for one family. And on Sunday in the first week in October last month, two buses a capacity of approximately 100 people, led us in the morning from Perth up to the north. Picnicker Indonesia not only students and their families, but also Indonesian citizens who live in Perth, even there are some students from other countries.
Although travel quite far, approximately four-hour trip, but quite amused with the natural scenery around. Matilda us over the edge of a pretty good bay to immortalized.
The farther to the north, we passed a sloping farm fields. Many horse farm. Also agricultural areas and cattle farm.
After the buses run about 3 hours, we also passed windfarm. Wind-powered energy source is enough to get the attention of WA government. Besides this Cervantes area, there is also another windfarm in down south. Actually, according to the committee’s plan, we will stop at the windfarm, but the driver pack since Caucasians are that the total travel only 12 hours, so plan to stop this wind farm was canceled. But we were quite satisfied, because the pack of the bus driver slowed him as he tells the story of these wind farms.
Finally, the trip also came at the Pinnacles are precisely located in Nambung National Park. Stone pillars standing experience in the desert, as if deliberately carved by a skilled artist.
Before returning to Perth, we were taken to the beach Cervantes for lunch and if necessary go to the bathroom. Because the Pinnacles are not provided in the bin, so visitors are advised not to eat around the resort. In addition, in this location is also only available toilet without water, so if you do not really have to, so not recommended to go to the toilet at the Pinnacles. The absence of garbage and water in the toilet, in order to keep the stone pillars are as original.
Cervantes was on the beach where camping is provided for those who want to spend the night. White sandy beaches, but unfortunately, the beauty of the beach covered with dead sea grass that covered the beach.
But the seagulls flying cheerfully n enjoy the beautiful blue sky above the Indian Ocean this, so we also cheerfully to enjoy a picnic up north this time.
