Beautiful Autumn View of Beopjusa Temple

#fallingseason Located at the base of Songrisan Mountain, Beopjusa Temple was initially built by the Silla monk, Uisin, in 553. He named it "Beopju" which means, "Residence of Dharma" because of the number of Indian sutras he brought there. During the Goryeo Dynasty, it is said that over 3,000 monks resided here. Some artifacts include a large stone grain bin and a giant 20-ton iron pot. Both of which were needed to feed the many people there. Much of the temple was destroyed during the Japanese invasions (1592-1598). The large wooden pagoda (Palsangjeon) was rebuilt in 1624 and has been preserved since. It is the oldest and tallest pagoda in Korea. Another prominent feature of Beopjusa is the ~30m tall golden Maitreya statue. Beopjusa is one of seven sansa (mountain temples) inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List (2018). Here is something interesting: Bruce Lee chose Beopjusa for his movie, Game of Death. However, after his untimely death, Beopjusa was edited out of the film. 405 Beopjusa-ro, Songnisan-myeon, Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do.
