Detailed Description
Beopcheonsa Mokwooam, located on the outskirts of Mt. Seungdal in Mongtan-myeon, was a Buddhist temple built in the year 725 (year 24 of King Seongdeok of the Shilla Dynasty), by priest Jeongmyeong from the nation of Geumji, located west of China . Since then, it is said to have been refined by the priest Yuan Ming from Imchunsa of China, between the times of King Injong and Uijong.
Later, Yuan Ming's 500 disciples came to the temple and renovated it. In 1592, the temple was burned down because of the Japanese invasion and buddhist statues were moved into Mokwooam.
Yeongwook rebuilt the temple in 1662, but it was left abandoned in 1896. Jeong Byeonwoo, who was from Naju, rebuilt the temple again in 1913 and Hwangyeon led the effort to rebuild the sanctuary in 1964.
