Dalseongsa Temple (Mokpo)

Dalseongsa is a traditional temple and a branch temple of Daeheungsa of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, located near the Sculpture Park on Yudalsan Mountain. Zen Master Nodaeryeon built a new temple on the southeastern foot of Yudalsan in Mokpo with the sponsorship of local dignitaries and held a Dharma assembly with hundreds of Mokpo citizens and devotees. The Wooden Amitabha Buddha Stone Pagoda in the precinct is densely engraved with the names of devotees from the time of foundation, and there is also the Nodaeryeon Zen Master Foundation Monument honoring the founder; beside it is a well called Okjeong, which Master Nodaeryeon is said to have dug through the spiritual power of prayer. There are also the Dalseongsa Renovation Merit Monument honoring devotees who contributed to the temple works and the Hyeongibong Memorial Stele, and in front of the temple stands the Founder Nodaeryeon Zen Master Foundation Monument honoring the founder of Dalseongsa, Master Nodaeryeon. Climbing the stairs brings you to Dalseongsa, built on a stone terrace; it has no traditional temple gates such as Iljumun, Geumgangmun, Sacheonwangmun, or Burimun.
