This Ksitigarbha remained a bodhisattva in order to save humans who were tortured in hell, so this Ksitigarbha is never going to be a real Buddha. This bodhisattva is the main statue in the temple of Myeongbujeon. Three lines inthe neck clearly remained and it wore earrings and necklaces. Clothes were wrapped around both shoulders and it is seated and bowed.
