[Haeinsa Temple]
Haeinsa Temple is one of the three treasured temples in Korea, along with Tongdosa (Bulbohsa), and Songgwangsa (Seungbo). Haeinsa is a sacred place for Korean Buddhism and also has about 70 relics, including world cultural heritage and national treasures. As the largest temple in Korea, it is located at the foot of Mt. Gaya, a famous mountain and a lovely area to explore
[Tripitaka Koreana]
The Goryeo Tripitaka Koreana refers to the Tripitaka Koreana that was engraved in the Tripitaka Koreana during the reign of King Gojong of the Goryeo Dynasty. It is housed in Haeinsa Temple, and the sutra is designated as National Treasure No. 32 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When the Chojo Tripitaka, completed from the reign of King Hyeonjong of the Goryeo Dynasty to the reign of King Munjong, was burned in the 19th year of King Gojong’s reign (1232) due to the invasion of the Mongols, Choi Woo, who was in power at the time, installed the General Book and completed it after 16 years of painstaking efforts. The total number of completed scriptures reaches 81,258, and it is called the Tripitaka Koreana because it contains 84,000 Buddhist texts that confront 84,000 kinds of sufferings of all beings. It is also called the Jaejo Tripitaka (再雕大藏經) because the original Tripitaka was burned in a war and then re-engraved
