Summary

Description

In back: Treasure No. 249. In front: National Treasure No. 17 (9th century): This stone lantern is known as one of the most beautiful lanterns made during the Unified Silla period. The octaganol base is decorated with inverted lotus petals. Above it, the rectangular pedestal, which serves as the bae of the light chamber, is decorated with upturned lotus petals. The Bodhisattvas carved in relief on the four sides of the light chamber are considered superb examples of sculptural work.

Buseoksa Temple is considered a 'masculine' temple. It differentiates itself from other temples by its huge size and the scenery is refreshing and beautiful. Buseoksa Temple was built in 676, when King Munmu (661~681) ruled the Silla Dynasty (57 B.C. ~ A.D. 935), by the founder Uisang (625~702) after he received orders from the King. Later in the 7th year (1016) of the Goryeo Dynasty (918~1392) was in the reign of King Hyeonjong (reign 1010 to 1031) Great Buddhist Monk Wonyung (964~1053) renovated Muryangsujeon (National Treasure No.18). It was renovated several times afterwards.The legend of lady Seonmyo and Uisang is famous. The two met when Priest Uisang went to Dang (Dynasty of China) to study. When Uisang told Seonmyo he would go back to his country, Seonmyo jumped into the sea and drowned. After death, she became a dragon. Seonmyo followed Uisang to Silla to protect and be with him. Seonmyo helped Uisang defeat his enemies and build the temple.
