Everything is already complete, just as it is.
As you pass through the temple compound, the wind blows,
sounds of rustling leaves fill your ears.
Hearing the cries of the cicadas echoing through the forest, your mind awakens.

Yebul(the Buddhist service)
The ceremony begins with the playing of four
Dharma instruments: Dharma drum, Dharma bell,
wooden fish, and cloud-shaped gong in this order.
It is a time of prayer offered for the well being of
all living creatures; a time reminding oneself of
the mystery of the universe wholly present in all
sentient beings.
Making lotus lanterns
Snowy lotus flowers blooming from the puddle
of mud signifies the everlasting wisdom.
A popular form of Buddhist art, lotus lanterns
made by hands constitute one of the most
important offerings dedicated to the Buddha
for his birthday. [The Lotus Lantern Festival is
held every May in celebration of the birth of
Sakyamuni Buddha.]
Dado(Tea ceremony)
In SeonBuddhism, the art of brewing anddrinking tea is considered just as important
spiritual undertaking as Seonmeditation; so
much so that monks often say daseonilme
(: tea and Seonare one and the same).
A properly brewed tea in accordance with the
traditional Korean tea art purifies both mind
and body.
Seon(Zen)Meditation
One of the Buddhist practices of mind. Meditation
means to find ones own Buddha nature by
sitting still and quietly controlling breaths and to
search for the inner Buddha. It is the practice or
cultivation beginning from the acceptance that
one is pure and clear originally.
Ulyeok(Communal work)
Ulyeokmeans working together and also means
a work session to which all residents of the
monastery must attend. When people work
together, they can achieve greatness. Korean
Buddhism mandates one who does not work,
shall not eat either. There is no difference in
working and practicing, and every action, no
matter how mundane it is, is an occasion to
practice ones mind.
Barugongyang(Formal monastic meals)
Barugongyangis a formal monastic meal
traditionally served in a ritualistic manner and
considered as an important part of the Buddhist
practice. It is conducted in such a way that
prevents any waste, not even a drop of water.
Radically eco-friendly, barugongyangis a Buddhist
contribution to the preservation of the mother
earth.
Pohaeng(Walking meditation)
Walking around slowly to comfort and ease tired
and stiff body after remaining in a same position
while meditating. This process is the extension
of practicing Seon. Especially the walking
meditation in the forest offers chances to be in
harmony with Mother Nature.
Templestay Programs
The Templestay presents a wide range of activities featuring Yebul(the Buddhist service), Seon(Zen)
meditation, Barugongyang(Formal monastic meal), Tea ceremony, 108 prostrations, the making of
lotus lanterns and much, much more. Shorter programs run 1 night and 2 days, while longer retreats
last one week or longer.

The journey itself to a mountain temple can be a meditation. Away from the busy streets, the road to
the temple is immersed in tranquility and the rocks stand in pristine dignity. The trees lead you to go
further and further, hiding the final destination with their thick shade. And finally the road ends and
opens up to a whole new world. That is the first moment you encounter another world and that will
be also the first moment to find the true you. This is what happens in the monastery which cherishes
time-honored tradition and spiritual cultivation

Jeondeungsa Temple Woljeongsa Temple
Jeondeungsa keeps a long tradition thatcan be traced back to 381 C.E., whenVen. Ado built this temple. Once the royal
temple during the Goryeo and Joseon
Dynasty, it is the oldest among all extant
Korean temples.
According to legend, the Samnangseong
Fortress winding along Mt. Jeongjoksan,
was built by the three sons o Dangun who
is thought to be the ounder o the first
Korean ancient kingdom Gojoseon.
Te most amous cultural property o
Jeondeungsa is the Main Buddha Hall
Daewungbojeon. What makes this
reasure No. 178 cultural asset more
popular is the figure o a naked woman
right under the eave o the roo. Te our
wooden works on each corner o the
building tells the legendary story o love,
betrayal and ultimately the sad endingbetween the master carpenter and a village
woman.
Woljeongsa emplestay is enticing.First o all, the one thousand yearold fir tree orest makes you contemplative
in this pristine tranquility. When you stroll
along the Odae Stream, the whispering
sound o the flowing water invites you
to be a part o the scene. Te spiritual
ambience o the remote and isolated
hermitages gives you a eeling o the
presence o Buddhas and Bodhisattvas
tenderly smiling at you.
In Woljeongsa you can meet the present
moment to build a new relationship with
your inner sel; it may be when you hit the
temple bell, when you walk in meditation
or when you visit the Woljeongsa Buddhist
Museum. Be one with your true sel and
with the nature in the emple o the Clear
Moonlight; o the title wol () meaning
moon, jeong() meaning clear.High above the temple is the legendary
Jeongmyeolbogung, the Jeweled Palace o
Stillness and Extinction, which holds some
Sarira, the relics o Shakyamuni Buddha.
