Haeinsa Temple Janggyeong Panjeon, the Depositories for the Tripitaka Koreana Woodblocks
Haeinsa Temple Janggyeong Panjeon, the Depositories for the Tripitaka Koreana Woodblocks, Buddhist temple complex in South Gyeongsang, South Korea.
The Haeinsa Temple Janggyeong Panjeon contains four halls arranged in a rectangle, housing 81,258 wooden blocks of Buddhist scriptures.
The temple was founded in 802 when monks Suneung and Ijeong returned from China, leading to its construction by King Aejang of Silla.
The Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks represent the most complete collection of Buddhist texts from the Goryeo Dynasty, carved between 1237 and 1248.
The temple complex remains accessible by public transportation from major South Korean cities, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The building's natural ventilation system and clay floor composition maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels for preserving the wooden blocks.
