Songgwangsa (Mount Jogye)

Songgwangsa, on Mount Jogye near Suncheon in South Jeolla Province, South Korea, is one of the principal monasteries of Korean Sŏn (Zen) Buddhism. The Goryeo-era master Jinul rebuilt and reorganised it as the seat of his reform movement around 1190, and it became known as a 'sangha jewel' temple of the Jogye tradition.
