Beomeosa Buddhist Temple, South Korea
Beomeosa was built by the great priest UiSang in 678 during the reign of King MunMu of the Silla dynasty, as one of ten HwaEom temples in Korea. It was established to realize the purpose of HwaEom which pursues life full of happiness and generosity.
Along with HaeInsa and TongDosa, Beomeosa is one of the three largest temples in Young Nam province, and home to Buddhist cultural assets and famous great priests.
Great masters including UiSang, WonHyo, PyoHun, NangBaek, MyungHak, GyeongHeo, YongSeong, SeongWol, YongUn, and DongSan had studied and practiced here.
Master priest DongSan had led Buddhist Purification Movement and worked as driving force for modern Buddhism in Korea.
"DongGuk YeoJiSeungRam" records the origin of Beomeosa as follow. At the top of Mt.GeumJeong located in 20 ri(a traditional unit of measuring distance) north of DongRaeHyun, there is gold-colored well that never dries even during drought.
In the well, gold-colored fish came down from the sky on five-cardinal-colored cloud and played, so people called the well as GeumSaem. The temple was named after "gold spring" "gold-colored fish from the heaven" and the name of the mountain GeumJeong.
Temple stay is not only about Buddhism but a cultural-experience program to help you understand Korea better, in addition to experiencing a Korean Buddhist monastic life. You will achieve the kind of peace of mind that is so needed in this complicated and hectic modern world through various programs such as Buddhist Service(Yebul), Meditation(Chamseon), 108 bows, Tea Ceremony(Dahdoh) etc. People of all religions are welcome to participate in the temple stay. Although some of the practices may seem foreign, we encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone for just a while and experience life from a different viewpoint. We are happy that you are open-minded to such an experience. We hope you will have countless pleasant memories from this short, personal journey.
