Sudeoksa and Bodeoksa: Yesan's Temples Embracing Serenity
The Aesthetics of Tranquility Conveyed by Ancient Temples
Nestled in the Deoksungsan Mountain range, Sudeoksa Temple is a historic temple founded during the Baekje Dynasty.
It houses the Daeungjeon Hall, National Treasure No. 49, which preserves the architectural beauty of the Goryeo Dynasty.
Peacefulness permeates the temple, with time seemingly slowing down with the trees, wind, and even the sound of the temple bells.
Within the Sudeoksa Temple grounds, the traces of Buddhist culture remain in every corner, allowing you to feel the breath of a thousand years.
If you pause for a moment and take a deep breath, you can experience a time where your heart feels lighter amidst the serenity.
At the entrance of Sudeoksa Temple, there is the Seon Museum of Art, where you can feel the harmony of tradition and modernity.
This building, resembling the roof shape of Sudeoksa Temple's Daeungjeon Hall, opened in 2010.
Since then, it has established itself as a cultural space where art, Buddhism, and nature come together.
It is loved as a special place where you can feel artistic inspiration in a tranquil mountain temple.
This space, where the tranquility of Buddhism and the sensibility of art blend harmoniously, offers visitors to Sudeoksa Temple another time of 'rest'.
Bodeoksa Temple
The Warmth of a Tranquil Mountain Temple, Bodeoksa
Bodeoksa Temple, located deep within the Gayasan Mountain range in Deoksan-myeon,
was founded by Heungseon Daewongun in the late Joseon Dynasty to relocate the tomb of his father, Namyeon-gun Yi Gu,
and to repay his virtue.
This place was originally the site of 'Gayasa Temple'.
Daewongun moved his father's tomb, burned down the old temple site,
and built a new temple as an act of atonement.
That temple is now Bodeoksa Temple.
The name 'Bodeok' contains the meaning of 'practicing great virtue and repenting to Buddha'.
Bodeoksa Temple's main building, Geungnakjeon Hall, and the stone lantern are registered as Tangible Cultural Properties of Chungcheongnam-do,
and retain a simple and elegant beauty as if time has stopped.
Bodeoksa Temple is a branch temple of Sudeoksa Temple, the head temple of the 7th district of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism.
It is filled with the unique serene and clear energy of a mountain temple, where Buddhist nuns practice.
The surrounding mountains and nature blend together, seemingly purifying the hearts of those who walk there.
When you want to pause and catch your breath,
Bodeoksa Temple becomes a quiet space that offers silent comfort.
