Birthplace of Great Master Seongcheol

Located in Sancheong, the Seongcheol Grand Master's Birthplace is a restored home dedicated to Grand Master Seongcheol, who left behind a collection of his sayings, "Mountains are mountains, and waters are waters," and a collection of Buddhist scriptures translated into Korean. He was a prominent Zen master of his time, who believed that practice alone was the way to help sentient beings, and who lived a secluded life in a hermitage, dedicating himself solely to meditation and spiritual practice, rarely appearing in public. The restoration of Grand Master Seongcheol's birthplace and the associated Buddhist preservation project have resulted in the construction of the main house, the detached building, the outer gate, and other structures. The "Geobae" hall, where one can sense the presence of Grand Master Seongcheol, serves as a Buddhist sacred site, providing a place for Buddhists and tourists from all over the country to reflect on the meaning of Buddhism.
