Goyang City and Buddhist ties
Our Goyang city has a deep connection with Buddhism.
Let's take a moment to find out about Korean Buddhism and Goyang City.
1. The temple that was first founded after the death of Saint Wonhyo of the Silla Dynasty was Heungguk Temple in Goyang.
2. In Goyang City, there are Buddhist monks (Bow, Taego, Wonjeungguk Temple), and Seung Topbi.
3. The integrity of Jogyesa Temple, the headquarters of the Jogye Order of Korea, is located in Taego Temple in Goyang City.
4. During the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592 during the Japanese Invasion of Korea, a Buddhist monk led by Ambassador Cheoyoung greatly helped his victory.
5. The people who built Bukhansanseong Fortress, which was built during King Sukjong's reign, were also the monks.
6. During the Japanese colonial period, the military units of the military forces have been involved in the activities such as Heungguksa and Jungheungsa.
