Members of this list might like to spare a moment to grieve for the almost total destruction of Naksan
Temple yesterday in one of the many forest fires that are always a major feature of each year's
Tree-Planting Day. Months of drought and a gale-force wind, plus the absence of any kind of fire-breaks
between forest and temple or between sections of forest helped of course. Two of the 20 or so halls are
reported to have survived.
