Dasolsa Temple in Bongmyeongsan Mt. is a 1500-year old temple that sits
at the foot of Bongmyeongsan Mt. located in Yongsan-ri, Gonmyeong-myeon, Sacheon.
It is a wonderful place to take a trip back in time as there are many relics
and sights that have important values and stories that have withstood the test of time.
Although there is a view that Dasol, the name of the temple,
is said to be given due to the abundance of pine trees,
it is also believed that the main mountain of this temple was named Dasol because
it looked like a seated general with many soldiers. -
Dasolsa Temple is home to the Daeyangru, the oldest existing building
in Korea constructed during the reign by King Myeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty,
as well as the Geungnakjeon Hall (hall of paradise) and Eungjinjeon Hall,
and Boanam Grotto and Seobongam Grotto in the vicinity.
The reason why Dasolsa Temple is being revered as a sacred pilgrimage site
and prayer center for Buddhists is not only because of its long history,
but also because of the discovery of 108 genuine sirira of Buddha found
inside the Hubultaenghwa of Jeokmyeolbogung (Shrine of Sakyamuni Buddha's Sarira) (main inner temple),
which attracted the attention of the world.
Moreover, Ansimryo of Dasolsa Temple is where Manhae Han Yong-woon
drafted the ‘Declaration of Independence’ of Korea and where ‘Deungsinbul’, a novel by Kim Dong-ri, was written.
Furthermore, Dasolsa is the birthplace of green tea in Korea.
The founders of Dasolsa Temple, Yeongijosa, Euisangdaesa and Doseonguksa
who founded Dasolsa Temple are all well-known as master tea monks.
Although it is not known whether tea seeds were first planted in Korea at this time,
there are tea trees being grown in more than 33,000 m3 of land around Bongmyeongsan Mt. behind Dasolsa Temple.
Basking in the rich aroma of green tea in the tranquility of the mountain temple is another excellent reason to visit this place.
