5. Doryanggye: Purification of the Ritual Area
The grounds are purified, and chants implore the Triple Gem and dragons to attend, and participants ask through chanting to bless with compassion all those gathered at the ceremony. The feminine Butterfly Dance is performed with long-sleeved white robes and pagoda-shaped hats, and reflects religious exhilaration from receiving the teachings of the Buddha, as the spirits of the deceased all gather at the site.
