The Haeinsa Temple was founded during the third year of King Ae-Jang’s reign [802], by two monks Suneung and Ijung. The name “Haein” originates from the expression Haeinsammae of Hwaeomgyeong [Buddhist scripture], which means truly enlightened world of Buddha and our naturally undefiled mind. Along with the Tripitaka Koreana sixteen more public treasures and some two hundred private treasures are enshrined at Haeinsa Temple. The video log [vlog] below details the temple and its location.
