Korean culture with Hindu origin

As I would have mentioned earlier, cna is one of my favourite channels. As I was browsing through the channels, I saw a  program entitled 'Gangnam's Insider's Picks'. Somehow, the term 'Gangnam' has prevented me from getting interested in the program so far. I had always thought that the program was about gangs and crimes. But when I closely observed this morning, I realised that it was far from what I had thought it to be.

Todays program featured a few Budhist shrines in Korea, including a few in a place known as Maitrey. I think that just like Bhudhism, this name has Hindu origin. In sanskrit, 'Maitreyaa' means friend.

Amazing and interesting.

(I tried to provide a link to the program. But the CNA website mentions "This program is restricted to your region". So, I amunable to give a link).
