Ven. Jihyeon, chief of Jogye Temple, buries a pot of salt on the premises of the temple in Seoul on June 22, 2023. The burial of salt on the traditional Korean holiday of "Dano," or the fifth day of the fifth month on the lunar calendar, which fell on the same day, is meant to wish for protection from fires.
