1 Introduction to Sungnimsa Temple.
Sunglimsa is a branch temple of Geumsansa, the headquarters of the 17th district of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. It was founded by Jinpyo during the reign of King Gyeongdeok of Silla. Some say it was founded in 1345 (the first year of the reign of King Chungmok of Goryeo), and the temple is said to have been named after the characters “Sung” from Sungsan and “Rim” from Shaolin Temple, in honor of the nine years in which Dharma sat in meditation while looking at the wall at Sungsan Shaolin Temple. In 1697 (the 23rd year of King Sukjong’s reign), Yeongwonjeon was built, and in 1819 (the 19th year of King Sunjo’s reign) and 1882 (the 19th year of King Gojong’s reign), Sunglimsa’s Bogwangjeon and surrounding buildings were renovated. In 1885 (22nd year of King Gojong’s reign), Uhwaru was rebuilt, the main temple was rebuilt in 1912, and in 1923, the head priest Hwang Seong-ryeol rebuilt Nahanjeon and Yeongwonjeon. In 1957, thanks to the donations of Go Gwang-man, the Siwangjeon and Nahanjeon were rebuilt, which continues to this day. In addition, there are many treasures and tangible cultural properties of Jeollabuk-do at Sungnimsa Temple.
