Yeongpyeongsa Temple is a traditional Korean temple located in Janggun-myeon, Sejong City, a branch temple of Magoksa Temple under the 6th district of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, featuring traditional buildings and three hermitage caves. The founding monk, Great Master Hwanseong, named it Yeongpyeongsa with the vow that the pursuit of the temple should be the happiness of sentient beings and world peace, so that not only the community residing here but also anyone who casually visits, hears the temple's name, or even just thinks of it may attain immortal happiness, and even the smallest creatures living here and the birds passing through the air may attain peace. Yeongpyeongsa is also famous for double cherry blossoms, and in autumn the inside and outside of the temple and the mountains and fields are covered entirely with white Korean chrysanthemum flowers, creating a spectacular sight. The Janggun Mountain Korean Chrysanthemum Festival held every October has established itself as a nationwide festival, and the temple operates temple stays. Yeongpyeongsa offers day, experience, and relaxation temple stay programs, and special programs linked to the traditional cultural festival Nakhwa Nori are also held.
