Dear Sirs,
On this precious occasion, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for visiting our web site with your great interest.
Bongeunsa is a very rare temple in korea because it is situated at the hillside of the city downtown near the COEX preserving and developing korean traditional culture and artifact in mid skyscraper with some 1,200 years of the historical background and temple ground area of 66,000m2.
As you may know, in korean Buddhism, there were two large schools such as the Seon(Zen) and scholastic(Kyo) schools.
|
This temple has played an important role representing the head temple of the Seon schools during the mid 16th to 19th century.
Many sunims (monks) and lay followers constantly gather to practice the meditation and study the Buddha's teachings in succession to such a wonderful tradition of the past.
With this type of the historical and traditional background, Bongeunsa is now proud to prepare retreat programs that can help all of you to experience temple stay, and temple life as well.
Through these retreat programs you can discover korean traditional Buddhist culture.
Therefore, I dare to say that it will be your greatest milestone to retrospect yourself, and also enjoy your happy life.
Lastly, I am looking forward to seeing all of you who visit our internet web site in the near future wishing you a happy life and good day in the name of the Buddha.
