Wooden Seated Abmitabha Buddha Triad of Sangunsa Temple
Designation Number : Tangible cultural property No.190
Location : 370, Bukhan-dong, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do
<
On Geungnakjeon Hall of Sangunsa Temple, a Wooden Seated Abmitabha Buddha Triad is enshrined and Avalokitesvara and Mahasthama-prapta are arranged around Amitabha.
On pedestal of Buddha Triad, prayer is written with ink. Based on the record saying ‘Building of Buddha Triad started on July 5th, 53th year of Kangxi (1713). After completion on August 6th, Buddha Triad was enshrined in Amitabha Geungnakjeon in Nojuksa Temple’. The record implies that Amitabha and Mahasthama-prapta were made in 1713.
However, Avalokitesvara has wide difference from Amitabha for its size and carving method and it is assumed that the bodhisattva was made separately.
At the bottom of Avalokitesvara, there is a record saying ‘On April 15, 1800, Avalokitesvara was was repainted with gold’. Such record indicates that the Avalokitesvara was also made before the 19th century.
