PUSOKSA - KOREA

Later in 1016 (reign of King Hyeonjong), Great Buddhist Monk Wonyung renovated Muryangsujeon . After that it was renovated many times .
The temple is of the Hwaom sect of Buddhism . Pusoksa means Temple of the Floating Stone , because of a large rock beside
the western hall that appears to float above the stones underneath.
The temple has many treasures: the flagpole supports, the Koryo wood-blocks, the pudo,
the two stone pagodas, and the monument to Master Wonyung.
