The outdoor latrine at a temple: Other more interesting names are: Dongsa 東司 and Dongjeong 東淨. "Dong 東" means the East, and "Sa 司" and "Jeong 淨" mean the house and clean or immaculate respectively. These variations imply "the clean house in the East." Why East? They usually build the outdoor latrine in the direction of the East from the house for configurational reasons. Cf. (Haeuso) The latrine, or "the place for emptying worries."
