The Tale of Amitabha Triad at Beophwasa Temple in Jeju

In Beophwasa Temple in Jeju, the old pavilion was restored on the scale of Daeungjeon Hall and the old Yeonji Pond, which symbolizes the pond of paradise.In Gupumyeonji Pond, a lotus festival is held around Chilseok, where white lotus and water lilies bloom.

Jeju is an island of gods where 18.000 gods reside, and Jeol500.It is a place with deep roots of spiritual culture called Dang500.Jeju's traditions and culture are heavily damaged by Joseon's policy of inviolability.

The blow reached its peak in 1702 when Jeju Pastor Lee Hyung-sang drove temples and shrines in the province into superstition and burned them all, and threw all non-burnt Buddha statues into the sea.In Jeju,

It is called the Jeol500 Dang500 Destruction Incident of Pastor Lee in Yeongcheon.

Since then, Jeju has been in the Buddhist era for 200 years.Currently, the headquarters of Jeju Island's Jogye Order temple is Gwaneumsa Temple in the middle of Hallasan Mountain.Gwaneumsa Temple was founded in 1908.Gwaneumsa Temple, founded by Buddhist monk Ahn Bong-ryogwan, was founded in Jeju 4.3 Incident.All of them were burned down and disappeared due to the operation of the Gyeongtobeoldae, and the current buildings were built after the 1960s.

There is Sebul Port next to Gangjeong Village, which became famous for the construction of Jeju Naval Base.It is named because it is the place where the three Buddhas left Jeju.The three Buddhas refer to the Amitabha Buddha Triad enshrined in the Geungnakjeon Hall of Beophwasa Temple.Myeongtaejong Yeongrakje expelled his nephew Geonje, ascended to the throne, and founded Dae Boeunsa Temple in Namgyeong, a memorial temple to serve his father, Ju Won-jang.In addition, the envoy Hwang Eom is sent to order the Amitabha Triad Buddha in Beophwasa Temple, Jeju Island, to bring him to the temple because it is an excellent Buddha statue produced by Yanggong, a craftsman from the Yuan Dynasty.

It is recorded in detail in the Annals of King Taejong of the Joseon Dynasty when Hwang Eom arrived in Hanyang.In the past, Tamna was under the direct control of Mongolia, so Ming tried to directly control Tamna under the pretext of this.

For the purpose of spying on Tamna, Hwang Eom and a Timur were sent to bring the Amitabha Triad Buddha of Beophwasa Temple.If a mistake was made in diplomatic relations during the reign of King Taejong of the Joseon Dynasty, Jeju land could also be attributed to China at that time.

King Taejong of Joseon recognized the urgent situation,

He dispatched Kim Do-saeng and Park Mo-dong to Jeju in advance.

In just 17 days, he left Sebul Port near Gangjeong Village from Beophwasa Temple in Seogwipo, arrived in Haenam by boat, and moved it to Naju.

Thousands of workers were mobilized at this time, and the height and width of the room dedicated to the Buddha statue were respectively.

It is said that there were seven ships, so the actual size of the Buddha statue must have been great.1,000 boards, 600 kilos of iron, to create a shrine and protect the Buddha statue.He used 700 pounds of horse.Inside, 28,000 sheets of white paper and 200 kilograms of cotton were used for membrane purposes.

When the Amitabha Triad of Beophwasa Temple arrived in Hanyang, King Taejong sent Lee Jopanso to greet him.Hwang Eom demanded that the king of the Joseon Dynasty come out to greet the Buddha himself and have an example of Obae Samgodu.

I would like to visit a memorial temple in consideration of the virtues of Jim's late parents.

He sends a sense of honor, Tae-gam Hwang Eom, to go to Beophwasa Temple in Tamna, your country, to save the statue of Dongbul.Help yourself to meet Jim's wishes.

This is the 11th volume of the Annals of King Taejong of the Joseon Dynasty (1406), dated April 19.The Yeongnakje Festival demands that Hwang Eom, who died a year later, be sent to send the Buddhist temple of Cheonbosa Temple in Joseon.One theory says that Yeongrakje's mother was a Goryeo woman, so she had her mother bring Joseon Buddha statues and sarira to Daeboeunsa Temple, a memorial temple.

If you look at the relics excavated from Beophwasa Temple, you can see the dragon-patterned menhir and phoenix munu, which were used in the construction of the palace of Goryeo or the original imperial family.It is said that Won Soon-je felt a sense of crisis and sent treasures to Tamna to build Beophwasa Temple with craftsmen.However, as the circle collapses faster than expected, it returns to the meadow and maintains the northern circle.

It is said that there were 280 slaves in Beophwasa Temple, so it is believed that it was greater than the influence of Jeju government officials.Beophwasa Temple was forgotten as the Amitabha Triad Buddha escaped and the number of slaves was reduced to 30, which was forgotten as the back of history.
