| Description |
Beopjusa Temple is located on Mt. Soknisan, and was built in the 14th year of
Silla King Jo-Heung. What stands today is the remnant of many devastations and
rebuilding through its long and turbulent history. When you enter the temple,
the first thing that catches your eye is the yellow earth road. The earth was
made into small stone shapes, burned to make it hard, and laid to cover the
road. Past the yellow earth road, the Orisup Trail appears, and there is a
nature study Trail beside it as well. Pass the Orisup trail, through thick pine
trees, and you will come to the main gate of the temple. Beside the main gate
there is a large rock with a hole in it. Spring water comes out of the hole that
you can drink from. Inside the temple you can see Palsangjeon, Pavilion which is
a wooden building shaped like a tower. After Palsangjeon Pavilion, you can visit
the Seokryeonji lotus flower pond. As the name suggests, the pond is made of
stones. At the back of Palsangjeon Pavilion, there is the Ssangsajaseokdeung
(Two Lion Stone Lamp), and, again as the name suggests, the two lions uphold the
stone lamp. The main building is also fascinating. It is two-stories high, and
very stately. Besides these, Beopjusa Temple has Ma-aeyeorae-uisang carved into
a rock. Uisang refers to a sitting Buddha, and this particular Ma-aeyeorae shows
Buddha sitting on a lotus flower. Passage of time has done much damage, but the
original shapes are still kept well.
Beopjusa Temple represents Mt. Sokrisan,
containing within it 1,500 years of history and a matching list of numerous
National Treasures and Monuments. Here you can be introduced to Buddhist culture
being brightly reflected in these artifacts.
