| Tample's History
|
Jogyesa is located in the heart of Jongno, Seoul, a global community of international culture. Through full of modern developments it is also superbly positioned as a historical site revealing the past and present of Korean Buddhism.
The Jogyesa has become a significant site of prayer and practice for lay Buddhists, and a welcoming resting place for ordinary citizens.
Foundation and Development
Jogyesa was originally built in 1910 at the place of the present Susong Park in the name of Gakhwangsa Temple.
It was built by the great monk such as Manhae Hanyongwun, through the Buddhist innovation movement. The Temple served as the spiritual backbone for Korean people under Japanese occupation. In 1936, it became the headquarters for the Korean Buddhist order of Taego. In 1938, its Daewungjeon or Main Buddha Hall was reconstructed at the present site. After Korea's national independence in 1945, the Buddhist Purification Movement was led by the Temple with a view to clean off the vestiges of Japanese imperialism. In 1954, it was renamed as Jogyesa, the only traditional temple located inside the boundary of four gates built during Chosun Dynasty in Seoul.
