Beopjusa ((朝鮮語:법주사) or Beopju temple) is a head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. It is situated on the slopes of Songnisan, within Songnisan National Park, in Naesongni-myeon, Boeun County, in the province of Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea. It was initially constructed in 553 by Silla monk Uisin. It has been historically associated with Beopsang thought, and the worship of the Maitreya Buddha. ==History== thumb The founder, Uisin, named the temple ''Beopju'' (‘Residence of Dharma’) because a number of Indian sutras (scriptures about Dharma) he brought back with him were housed there.〔(Brief History of Beopjusa Temple )〕 The temple with more than 60 buildings and 70 hermitages, including the highest wooden pagoda in Korea, Palsangjeon. Like most of the other buildings, this was burned to the ground in the Japanese invasions of Korea.〔Cin Woo Lee ("Simply stunning: 33 incredible Korean temples" ) ''CNN Go''. 10 February 2012. Retrieved 2012-04-12〕 The pagoda was reconstructed in 1624. In the Goryeo Dynasty, this temple is said to have been home to as many as 3,000 monks. A few facilities from this period still remain on the temple grounds, including a cistern and iron pot for serving food and water to thousands of monks. It continued to play an important role in subsequent centuries, but shrank as the state's support for Buddhism disappeared under the Joseon Dynasty. Joseon Dynasty founder Taejo is said to have retired to a spot near Beopjusa after tiring of his sons' fighting. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beopjusa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
