Haeinsa Temple is one of Korea's three largest temples, and was founded during the third year of King Ae-jang's reign (802) by two monks Suneung and Ijung. The name "Haein" originates from the expression "Haeinsammae of Hwaeomgyeong" (Buddhist scripture), which means truly enlightened world of Buddha and our naturally undefiled mind. Along with the Printing Woodblocks of the Tripitaka Koreana (National Treasure) and Janggyeongpanjeon Depositories (National Treasure), various treasures are enshrined at Haeinsa Temple.
