Couple of things — the great stone monument with sarira is the Geumgang-dan or Diamond Altar.

And when you say "This shrine is dedicated to a sanshin, or mountain spirit, although there was no information about who this was." — that painting is of Jajang-yulsa, fournder of the temple in the 640s. The second photo you name as Sanshin is indeed one — Spirit of Yeongchuk-san, Tongdo-sa's host.

Loved the shady walk up the valley to get there. And when I visited (back in 2001) there was a superb restaurant serving temple food outside the main entrance.

It will be one of the places we will be going back to on our next trip to Korea.

Buddha's bones, eh?
