Introduction
Woljeongsa Temple is located in a forested valley on the eastern side of Odaesan Mountain. The 1 kilometer path leading to the temple passes through a forest of tall fir trees, some over 500 years old. Woljeongsa Temple is in charge of over 60 temples and 8 monasteries in the area. The temple was established by Monk Ja Jang (590-658) of the Silla Kingdom. Woljeongsa Museum is also located within the temple grounds, displaying artifacts and treasures from Buddhist culture of the Goryeo dynasty (918-1392), including an octagonal nine-story stone pagoda and a stone seated bodhisattva.
