Bomunsa Temple (Wonju)

Bomunsa Temple was founded by Muchak during the reign of King Gyeongsun of Silla, and the detailed history of the temple is unknown as its subsequent history is not known. According to the Bomunam Changgi (普門庵創記), it appears to have been rebuilt after being burned down during the Japanese invasions of Korea in 1592. At that time, when it was rebuilt, the temple was named Bomunnyeonsa (普門蓮社) to worship Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and to serve as a temple for religious deeds. It is also called ‘Ugomunjeol’ because it is located above Gukhyeongsa Temple (Araetgomunjeol). It was rebuilt by Kang Sang-jun in 1930, and rebuilt by abbot Lee Baek-ryeon-hwa in 1971, and continues to this day. The main buildings include Daeungjeon, Yaksajeon, Sansingak, Yongwanggak, and Yosachae.
