Founded in 676 by the famous monk Uisang, Buseoksa Temple is the "guardian" of one of Korea's oldest wooden structures, the state treasure Muryang Sujeong (Pavilion of Endless Bliss). The name of the temple is associated with the legend about the founder of the temple, Uisan, the “floating stone” pusok, and the girl Sunmyo who fell in love with Uisan. By the way, this stone has survived to this day - you can see for yourself.

The year the temple was founded - 676 - is also the year of the first formal unification of Korea by the Silla state. Of course, the temple has been rebuilt many times since its founding; the oldest building of Muryang Sujeong Temple was built during the Goryeo era; In the pavilion there is another state treasure - a statue of a seated Buddha 2.78 meters high, made using the technique of laying clay on a wooden frame.
