The role of preposition 'to' in 'retiring from government service to the Cheoneunsa'
* Cheoneunsa - An once-upon-a-time-dynasty-built temple in Korea
Yi composed the text after retiring from government service to the Cheoneunsa monastery on Duta-san mountain in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samcheok, in present-day Gangwon province.
I'd like to know whether "to" modifies "service" or indicates the result of "retiring from government."
Thank you in advance for your help.
