In the Temple

Buddhism exercised a far reaching influence on Korean culture throughout its long history. Every where in the country its invaluable heritage abides in buildings, sculptures, paintings, and handcraft works.


The temple becomes active at 3 a.m. and various ceremonies and daily activities continue throughout the day until 9 p.m.
Dress in the temple should be clean and conservative and visitors should avoid revealing clothes and bare feet.

Inside the temple you should be quiet and calm.  At the time of entering the Buddha Hall, of the three enterances, visitors can use either side entrance, but must avoid using the front of center entrance. Monk only can use center entrance. Before entering the hall, visitors must remove their shoes.
Yebool is a Buddhist ceremony service. Korean Temples perform Yebool three times a day : at 3 a.m., 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Yebool pays respect to Sakyamini Buddha and his disciples. During the act of Yebool participants maintain a calm and quiet composure, in body and mind.
