1. Gounsa Temple
Gounsa is a very quiet, serene place, known as the Earth’s Treasury. It was built by Monk Uisang in
681 during the reign of King Sinmun of the Silla Kingdom (BC 57~935). Although the pronunciation of
the name has not been changed, its meaning slightly changed from “High Cloud Temple" to "Solitary
Cloud Temple" after Choi Chi-won (857~ unknown, a great scholar whose pen name is Goun) built
two pavilions, Gaunru and Uhwaru, with Yeoji and Yeosa, renowned monks of that time, and renamed
it after his pen name.
Program
Gounsa greets visitors with a variety of Buddhist cultural programs. You can learn the Buddhist way of

Tourist Information
The more you know, the better you understand
Temples in Korea all have a number of small and big sanctuary halls. Each enshrines its own Buddha
and is named accordingly. For example, Daeungjeon Hall, which translates to “main hall,” enshrines
and serves the Shakyamuni Buddha. Like so, if you know the name of the building and the Buddha
enshrined, you’d have a better understanding of its history.
Daeungjeon Hall
Daeungjeon enshrines the Shakyamuni Buddha. Daeung refers to how Shakyamuni overpowered
demons and became a Buddha.
Yeongsanjeon Hall or Palsangjeon Hall
Yeongsanjeon is where “Yeongsan Hoesang (Buddhist music that tells Buddha’s sermon in Mt.
Yeongsan, India, according to the Lotus Sutra.)” is re-created. It enshrines Shakyamuni and his 10
Great Disciples, and the 16 or 500 Arahats (differs by temple).
Sometimes, the Yeongsan
Hoesangdo Painting or the Palsangdo, which portrays the life of Shakyamuni in eight scenes, are also
enshrined.
Daejeokgwangjeon Hall
Daejeokgwangjeon,
literally
translate
to
“Hall
of
Immeasurable
Light,”
is
also
called
Daegwangmyeongjeon or shortened to Daegwangjeon. It enshrines the Vairocana Buddha, the Buddha
of Enlightenment.
Geungnakbojeon Hall
This temple was built to house the Amitabha Buddha, the master of the Western Pure Land, who is
believed to lead people to the Pure Land of Amitabha. It is also called Muryangsujeon or Sugwangjeon.
Yaksajeon Hall
Yaksajeon is dedicated to Yaksayeorae, the Buddha of Medicine who saves people from troubles by
getting rid of disasters and diseases. He is likely to hold a medicine bottle, case or jar (Mugaju) in his
left hand and his right hand rests on his right knee, palm outward in the gesture of giving realizations.
 exhibiting the Dhyana Mudra. Buddhism 에서 Bhaisajyaguru (Medicine Buddha)의 손
Jijangjeon Hall
Jijangjeon enshrines Jijangbosal or the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who vowed to not achieve
Buddhahood until "all the hells are empty." But, because he was the savior of all hell beings, the
image of the ten judgment kings of the underworld are also enshrined here, which is why it is also
called Myeongbujeon, Hall of Judgment.
Eungjinjeon Hall
Eungjinjeon enshrines the disciples of Buddha. The word eungjin can mean “worthy of respect,” or
“worthy to be served.” Also called Nahanjeon, it is sometimes dedicated to the 16 or 500 Arahats who
vowed to keep the Buddhist Discipline among Buddha's disciples.
Sansingak Hall
Sansingak, also known as Sallyeonggak, is the shrine dedicated to mountain deities and local tigers.
Because most temples were built in the deep mountains, these deities and tigers were believed to
protect the temples.
