Remembering the life of non-possession. Gilsangsa Temple in Seongbuk-dong!

Gilsangsa Temple was built in 1997. It was originally a temple built by renovating Daewon-gak, which was called one of the three great temples of Seoul along with Samcheonggak and Cheongungak. It is said that Kim Yeong-han, a gisaeng who created Daewon-gak, was impressed by the monk Beopjeong’s “Musoyu” and donated it. In the Jinyeonggak of Gilsangsa Temple, the portrait of monk Beopjeong, handwritten manuscripts, and will are on display, allowing visitors to catch a glimpse of monk Beopjeong’s traces. Although the grounds of Gilsangsa Temple are not densely lush, they have a strong forest feel, and it feels like a well-kept garden. There are many old trees, including protected trees, and wild flowers bloom and fall depending on the season. The small benches here and there are also unique. There is also a book cafe called Daranidawon in the grounds, so it is a good place to have a cup of tea after looking around Gilsangsa Temple. #SeoulTravel #TempleTravel #Gilsangsa #BuddhistTemple
