About Buddhist Temples in South Korea
Buddhist temples, monasteries, and stupas mark sacred sites associated with the Buddha, his disciples, and centuries of meditative practice across Asia and the world. From the great stupas of India and Sri Lanka to the gilded wats of Thailand, the pagodas of Myanmar and Japan, and the cliff-clinging gompas of Tibet and Bhutan, every Buddhist temple anchors the local sangha and welcomes pilgrims seeking refuge in the Three Jewels. Major schools — Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana — express distinct architectural and ritual traditions. Sacred landmarks like Bodh Gaya, Borobudur, the Potala Palace, and Shwedagon Pagoda continue to draw millions of pilgrims and travelers each year.
