Samgwangsa Temple, part of the Cheontae Order of Korean Buddhism, preserves the ancient traditions of the Cheontae sect established during the Goryeo Dynasty. This temple serves as a spiritual center that embodies the historical Buddhist culture and prayer practices of the region.

As a representative temple of the Cheontae Order, Samgwangsa is built upon the historical significance and traditions of the Cheontaegyogwan, which have been transmitted through generations. The temple actively practices patriotic Buddhism, life Buddhism, and popular Buddhism, inspired by the 'New Buddhist Movement' initiated by Sangwol Wongak Grand Historian.

The temple complex includes various halls such as Daewoongbojeon Hall, Daejojeon Hall, Jigwanjeon Hall, Jijangjeon Hall, Geungnakjeon Hall, Yakjeon Hall, Beomjonggak Hall, Beophwa Sammadang Hall, and the 53 Buddha Eight-Field Tower, along with Iljumun Gate.

Samgwangsa Congregation consists of 17 branches and over 20 affiliated organizations, including Geumgang Buddhism University and Samgwang Hangeul School, which is recognized as an official educational institution for elementary and secondary education. Other affiliated groups include Samgwang Dado University and the Busan branch of the Cheontae Welfare Foundation.

The temple is open year-round, providing visitors with opportunities to engage in various programs, including a free Temple Stay experience. Facilities such as toilets and various halls are available for public use.
