Waujeongsa Temple (Yongin)

Founded in 1970 by displaced North Koreans seeking national reconciliation, Waujeongsa Temple is nestled among the magnificent peaks of Yeonhwasan Mountain. The temple is home to Yeolbanjeon Hall, Daegakjeon Hall, and Beomjonggak Pavilion. Notable among its statues are the twelve-meter-long Reclining Buddha in Yeolbanjeon Hall and Buldu, an eight-meter-high Buddha’s head statue located at the temple’s entrance. Additionally, the temple features unique Buddha statues from across Asia, including the Stone Tower of Unity, constructed with stones from Buddhist holy sites, and a jade Ascetic Statue of Shakyamuni.
