Bongamsa, Buddhist temple in Mungyeong, South Korea.
Bongamsa Temple stands at the foot of Mount Huiyangsan, featuring multiple buildings and seven hermitages spread across the mountainous terrain.
Monk Jijeung established this temple in 879 during the Unified Silla period, making it a center for the Huiyangsan School of Korean Seon Buddhism.
The temple contains multiple Korean National Treasures, including the Stele and Stupa of Buddhist Monk Jijeung with detailed stone carvings and architectural elements.
This temple restricts public access to once per year during Buddha's Birthday celebrations, requiring advance planning for those wishing to visit.
The temple received its name from a nearby cliff where a rooster's morning cry resembled a phoenix, leading to the name meaning Phoenix Rock Temple.
