Looking out across the grounds of Jogyesa Temple from the Beomjongru Bell pavilion. The building on the left is Geungnakjeon (Hangeul: 극락전; Hanja: 極樂殿), while the building at the center is the main hall Daeungjeon (Hangeul: 대웅전; Hanja: 大雄殿). Outside Daeungjeon is a large white marquee with chairs underneath.
Located in Jongno-gu, central Seoul, Jogyesa is a popular tourist attraction for visitors to South Korea. The temple includes a foreign visitors centre that provides information and insights into temple life for visitors.
Jogyesa (Hangeul: 조계사; Hanja: 曹溪寺) is the head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, which was established in 1941. The temple's name was changed to Jogyesa in 1954 as part of the Buddhist Purification Movement, which aimed to eliminate any Japanese influences on Korean Buddhism made since the Japanese occupation of Korea in the early 1900s.
