Bongeunsa is a Buddhist temple located in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu in Seoul, South Korea. It was founded in 794 during the reign of King Wonseong by the monk Yeon-hoe (Hangul: 연희), then the highest ranking monk of Silla, and originally named Kyongseoungsa (Hangul: 견성사; hanja: 見性寺). It is located on the slope of Sudo Mountain, across the street from the COEX Mall.
During the Joseon Dynasty, Buddhism in Korea was severely repressed. However, Bongeunsa was reconstructed in 1498 under the patronage of a Joseon Queen. With the support of Queen Munjeong, who revived Buddhism in Korea for a short time in the mid-16th century, it became the main temple of the Korean Seon (Zen) sect of Buddhism from 1551 through 1936. Monk Bo-wu was appointed head of the temple in 1548 by Queen Munjeong but was killed soon afterwards as the anti-Buddhist factions regained dominance in Korea towards the end of Queen Munjeong's rule. From 1552-1564 it was the center of the Buddhist National Exam.
A fire in 1939 destroyed most of the buildings, and other parts of the temple were destroyed during the Korean War. Fortunately, one of the very few halls which escaped destruction during the Korean War continues to hold the woodblock carvings of the Flower Garland Sutra, 봉completed in 1855 by monk Young-ki The temple has undergone many repairs and renovations, and is now once again a large, thriving complex. The reconstruction efforts are being waged even today.
Filmed with GoPro + ZhiYun Z1 Pround 3 axis gimbal stabilizer. Come walk around Bongeunsa, a Buddhist temple in the heart of Seoul's Gangnam district! Marie and I spent a wonderful spring afternoon walking around the famous Bong-eun-sa temple located in the middle of Gangnam district, right across the street from the famous COEX Mall. This temple was founded in 794 A.D., and has experienced a history of attacks and fires. Most recently, it was almost completely burned down in 1939 and the Korean War, with only 1 building surviving the major fires. Since then, the majority of the complex has been rebuilt and is even undergoing construction projects to this day. In the middle of busy Gangnam district, one should take a step back into the past by visiting this temple. It's definite...

We still had a bunch of footage from last week that we couldn’t squeeze into our previous ‘Lunchbox Cafe’ video :D Kyuho and I wanted to check out the newly renovated Coex Mall at Samsung station and do a little window shopping. It may sound strange, but literally right across the street from Coex Mall is a very old, beautiful Buddhist temple that I absolutely love. It’s literally right in the middle of the city, but once you are on the grounds, it’s very quiet and tranquil (aside from the cicadas, haha). I love this place so much because sometimes in the hustle and bustle of a crowded city like Seoul, it...
One of the things I really enjoy about living in Korea, is that because the country is so small, there is always something new to see. In fact, in my almost combined nine months of living in Korea, my time outside the Seoul Metro area has been at a minimum due to the extensive laundry list of places to visit. This past Saturday I was able scratch another on off my long list Bongeunsa Temple (봉은사). What I find most amazing about this place is that it is located adjacent to the COEX in Seoul. And when I say adjacent, I mean right across the street. You literally can stand at the entrance of the COEX and see the main gate of the temple area. In fact, on this little trip, I had to wait a good five minutes before I made it across the street. Bongeunsa (봉은사) was founded in 794 during King...

I have had a great time the past few weeks. I cannot believe more than a month has passed since I first landed in Seoul. This video took me a bit longer than expected, but I hope you guys can still enjoy it. Also I am having a new found interest in Buddhism. You can tell especially from this video the detail and architecture of Buddhist temples and statues. I hope to discover more temples and statues. The more I come across one the more questions I have about the path that is Buddhism.
