Daewonsa, Korean Buddhist temple in Sancheong County, South Korea
The temple stands at the eastern foot of Jirisan Mountain, with a mountain stream running through a 2-kilometer valley from the parking area.
Founded in 548 by Monk Yeongi as Pyeongwonsa Temple, it underwent multiple reconstructions after fires, including major rebuilding efforts in 1685 and 1890.
The temple, operated by Buddhist nuns, houses the Sarijeon Hall where practitioners engage in intensive Seon meditation during three-month summer and winter retreats.
Visitors can access the temple by taking an intercity bus from Seoul Nambu Terminal to Jinju, followed by a local connection to the temple grounds.
The Multi-Story Stone Pagoda, designated as Treasure No. 1112, contains Buddha relics brought from China, distributed across its third, fifth, and seventh stories.
