Ilchi Lee teaches that meditation is the ultimate path to unifying one's mind-body-spirit. One of the best ways to elevate one's consciousness through the meditative process is by visiting a location that is both remote and scenic. As such, pilgrims in search of enlightenment may want to seek out remote, yet captivating destinations that can aid in this process. Fortunately, the answer to their prayers may be found just off the coast of the small Jeju Island of South Korea.
Seongsan Ilchibong is perhaps the most famous destination in the region, and after glimpsing its unique beauty it's not hard to see why. The roundish island rose from the sea in a volcanic eruption dating back more than 100,000 years, creating a large crater at the center of the locale that is more than 600 meters in diameter, with a large jutting peak that rise 90 meters into the sky.
The name Seongsan Ilchibong means "sunrise peak," a title it earned thanks to its unforgettable vista at the crack of dawn. Climbing to the summit for sunrise has become a popular practice and is sure to cast a peaceful spell over the rest of one's day.
