Gwanchoksa Temple (관촉사) in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do is located at the foot of Mt.
Banyasan (100m in elevation).
This temple enshrines a Seokjomireukbosalipsang Buddha (Treasure No.
218), which was built over the course of 38 years, beginning in 967 during the Goryeo period.
According to a legend, while a lady was picking fernbrake on Mt.
Banyasan, she heard a baby crying.
When she went to the spot from which from which the crying was coming, there was no baby but instead was a large rock sticking out from the ground.
Upon hearing this story, the government ordered a Buddha statue to be made from the rock.
This Buddha statue, widely known as ‘Eunjimireuk Buddha,’ is the largest stone Buddha in Korea (18.12m in height, 9.9m in girth, 1.8m in the length of ears, 2.43m at the height of crown).
There are many other cultural heritages in this temple and every April, a splendid cherry blossom tunnel strecthing from Nonsan to Gwanchoksa Temple is at its peak.
