Gapsa, Buddhist temple in Daejeon, South Korea
The Gapsa temple complex extends across the western foothills of Moaksan mountain, featuring multiple meditation halls and traditional Korean architecture.
Founded in 599 CE during the Baekje Dynasty under King Beop, Gapsa later expanded in 766 CE through the efforts of Master Jinpyo.
The temple holds a remarkable National Treasure, a hanging painting from 1650 depicting the Buddha Triad of Sakyamuni, Nosanabul, and Vairocana Buddha.
Visitors can participate in three different Templestay programs, including meditation sessions, tea ceremonies, and discussions with resident monks.
The three-story Mireukjeon hall contains an 11.82-meter Maitreya statue flanked by two 8.79-meter Bodhisattva statues in an open interior space.
