Woljeongsa Temple Jeokmyeolbogung

The Jeokmyeolbogung of Woljeongsa Temple is where the Buddha's true sarira relics are enshrined. Jeokmyeolbogung means a precious palace free of all outer disturbances, with a mind unshaken and free of afflictions. It represents the Buddha's state, in which there is no greed, anger, or ignorance, and therefore no suffering. Because the Buddha's true sarira relics are enshrined here, a distinctive feature of Jeokmyeolbogung is that no separate Buddha statue is made inside the dharma hall; only an altar is installed. This Jeokmyeolbogung stands tall at the center, surrounded like a folding screen by mountain ranges flowing down from Birobong Peak, and it is a propitious site that some describe as a dragon playing with a wish-fulfilling jewel, making it an object of longing for many.
