Jinkwansa
Temple was first built in 1101 during King
Hyeonjong's reign of the Goryeo Dynasty. In 1403, Suryuksa Temple
was built on the ruins of the original temple in memory of the nation's
founders. After it was burnt down during the Korean War, female
Buddhist monk Jin-kwan rebuilt it in 1964. Now it is a temple for
women monks, and about 15 women monks live there. When you enter
the compound, the main hall appears in front of you with living
quarters on your left and small halls on your right. The first hall
contains Kstitigarbha with all the judges, the Sec is the abode
of the Mountain God and the Recluse, the third is where people light
lamps in memory of the departed, and the last is Amitab-ha's shrine,
with all the enlightened disciples. |
