This is a beautiful temple at the base of a mountain, but what separates this one from the thousands of others in Korea is its history and beauty.
In terms of history, this temple has been around for well over 1000 years and some of the buildings are quite old. Most importantly it contains the Tripitaka Koreana, a set of nearly 800 year old wooden blocks containing Buddhist scriptures that have miraculously survived multiple Japanese invasions, the Korean War, and the ravages of time and nature. Few temples in Korea compare to Haeinsa in terms of history.
Aside from the historical elements, aesthetically the temple is quite stunning. It is well laid-out and the buildings are beautiful. The backdrop of Gayasan National Park (a criminally underrated and under-visited national park) makes it even more beautiful.
Admittedly this temple is pretty remote (although there are express buses that run here and back from Daegu West Bus Station), which is probably why it doesn't get the attention it deserves. But this place was amazing and I would highly recommend visiting it.
It’s a massive temple with an amazing UNESCO world heritage. Our guide monk made the concept of Buddhism and the temple’s history very easy to understand. We were also accompanied by a full-time English interpreter, who was exceptionally friendly and helpful. While reaching the location can be quite challenging without a car, but still worth a visit for a temple stay if you’re spending quite a long time in Korea.
Nous avons passé une nuit en Temple Stay, nous avons été ravis par la prise en charge du groupe occidental, site très beau, fabuleux et très intéressant, parfait pour vivre cette expérience dans le calme.

절도크고 소나무의 웅장함에 반하고
고즈넉하이 너무좋았어요
스님들 북을치시더라구요 멋졌어요
대웅전가서 기도 하고 쌀한돼?5천원주그ㅡ
사서 소원빌었어요 소원은 이뤄진듯ㅋ
내생각이지만 절은 꼭 해인사와보세요
묘한 쓸쓸함이 느껴졌다.
(팔만대장경은 보관지는 볼 수 있으나 직접 가까이서 볼 수는 없다.)
장경판전을 들여다 보면 엄숙함이 느껴집니다.
駐車場から坂を登り15分ほど歩きました。
空気ぐ澄んでいて、気持ちよかったです。
