Information Introduction Woljeongsa Temple is located in the forest of the valley east of Mt
Odaesan, and it is composed of 60 temples and 8 monasteries made into one large temple
Woljeongsa Temple was established by Monk Ja Jang (590~658)
At Woljeongsa Temple there is the Seongbo Museum where you can view the Buddhist culture of the Goryeo Dynasty (918∼1392), the nine-story octagonal pagoda, also called as the Sari-Pagoda (relic pagoda), and the Stone Seated Buddha figure
Also there is the Jeokmyeolbogung where Buddha's bones are said to be preserved, and the large sermon hall Jeokgwangjeon Pavilion
Usually in a Jeokgwangjeon Pavilion the Vairocana figure is enshrined, but it is interesting that the Sakyamuni figure is enshrined at Jeokgwangjeon Pavilion at Woljeong temple
Woljeongsa Temple of today was restored after the Korean war in 1950 when the Chilbulbojeon, Yeongsanjeon, Gwaneungjeon, Jinyeonggak and 17 other buildings were burned
Many cultural assets and historic data were lost at this time
The Silla Dongjong, which was excavated from the Seonrimwon site in Yangyang-gun, was also lost
The Budo site (relic site) and sagoji (historic document storage) is nearby Woljeongsa Temple
The Budo site is a 15-minute walk from the Woljeongsa Temple to its location at the Sangwonsa Temple, just before crossing the Banya Bridge
Here there are 22 pagodas that hold the remains of the monks who had lived here
Sagoji is an hour’s walk from Woljeongsa Temple towards Sangwonsa near Yeonggamsa Temple
