Ssanggyesa, Buddhist temple in Hwagae-myeon, South Korea
Ssanggyesa Temple stands on the southern slopes of Jirisan mountain, between two flowing streams in Gyeongsangnam-do province of South Korea.
Founded in 722 by monks Sambeop and Daebi, the temple underwent reconstruction in 1632 after its complete destruction during the Japanese invasion of 1592.
The temple contains the Stele of Master Jingam, designated as National Treasure 47, and serves as a center for Korean Buddhist music and dance.
Visitors can access multiple walking trails around the temple grounds and participate in meditation sessions within the temple's educational facilities.
The temple houses the skull of Huineng, the Sixth Seon Patriarch, preserved in a stone pagoda near the main hall.
