Seonam Temple (à¹äÜÞÑ; ¼±¾Ï»ç; Seonamsa), is a Korean Buddhist temple on the eastern slope at the west end of Mount Jogyesan Provincial Park, within the northern Seungjumyeon District of the city of Suncheon, Jeollanamdo Province, South Korea.
The name Seonam (Heavenly Rock) is derived from the legend that a heavenly being once played the game of Go here.
About 1 km/.62 mi from the entrance towards the main temple grounds, two rainbow shaped bridges appear; the second larger one being Seungseon Bridge. Just beyond Seungseon Bridge is Gangseon Pavilion. Past the pavilion, the small oval-shape pond called Samindang comes into site. Inside the pond is a small islet with an evergreen, creating an attractive setting.
Going further on the Ilju Gate appears, beyond which the various temple buildings emerge. The large timbers of the main temple buildings are impressive, blending elegantly with the surrounding Jogye mountains and harmonizing with the nature surrounding them.
A hiking trail to the left of Seonam Temple leads to Maaebuli, a 17m/56 ft high sculpture engraved on a rock. Seonam-sa is beautiful throughout the year, especially in the spring when all the flowers are in bloom, as well as in the fall with all the autumn colors.
With 19 National Cultural Properties in its halls and museum, there are few Korean Buddhist temples with more treasures than Seonam-sa.
Legend states that in 529 CE missionary-monk Ado built a hermitage at this site on the eastern slope of Jogyesan and named it Biroam.
350 years later in 861 National Master Doseon Guksa constructed a grand temple here and named it Seonam-sa. As the head temple of the "Samamsa" trio, (three "rock" temples, Unamsa, Yongamsa, Seonam-sa), Seonamsa played a fundamental role in the development of Seon Buddhism, and many masters have practiced, taught and attained awakening here.
During the Imjinwaeran war, also known as the Japanese invasions (1592-1598), many of Seonam-sa¡¯s buildings were destroyed, along with much of the country. Restoration came after the war, and a new plan to restore the temple to the original 11th century configuration has been underway since 1992. (Referred to the site of "Wikipedia")
