Buseoksa Temple, Yeongju

A temple on the slopes of Bonghwang Mountain in Yeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, said to have been founded by the monk Uisang as the head temple of the Hwaeom school. The main hall, Muryangsujeon, is one of the oldest surviving wooden buildings in Korea, displaying the beauty of Korean wooden architecture through its entasis columns and well-proportioned form. The legendary floating rock that gave the temple its name, along with the tale of Uisang and Seonmyo, are enshrined here. It has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a mountain monastery.
