| Description |
Naksansa Temple is located 4 km north of Naksan Beach, and has a history of
1,300 years. It is a temple built by Ui-Sang, the ambassador of the 30th King of
Silla Period (BC 57~AD 935), and inside there is the Seven Floor Stone Tower,
Dongjong, Hongyaemun, and other cultural assets. It was named Naksansa Temple by
Ui-Sang, at the spot where he learned the prayer “Gwansae-eumbosal” from Bosal,
after he’d returned from studying abroad in the Chinese Dang Kingdom. It was
rebuilt several times afterwards, and the current building was raised in
1953.
You can get to Naksansa Temple by passing through Iljumun and
Hongyaemun. When you enter the temple from Hongyaemun, you can see black bamboo
trees and tiled earthen walls on either side of the sanctuary. North of Naksan
Beach, beside the copper bell is a back door, with a path that leads to
Uisangdae Pavilliaon and Hongryeonam. Uisangdae is a pavilion built on top of a
cliff by the sea, and was built where Ui-Sang used to sit and meditate.
Hongryeonam is known as a small Buddhist temple, built above a stone cave by
Ui-Sang. Under the sanctuary floor there is a 10 cm hole, through which you can
see the sea. Past Uisangdae Pavillion, up the path on the hill at Sinseonbong,
there is a stone statue of Buddha called Haesugwaneumsang. It is the largest of
its kind in the Orient, and can be seen from as far as Mulchi Harbor.
