About

Jeonghyesa Temple is a branch of Songgwangsa Temple, the head temple of the 21st district of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. In keeping with its role as a city center for spreading Buddhism, it runs introductory classes for newcomers to Buddhism, where they can learn basic teachings, Buddhist temple culture, and Buddhist etiquette. Buddhist temples often bring to mind places deep in the mountains, but here, in an easy-to-reach part of the city, you can learn about Buddhism, listen to monks' dharma talks, and practice prayer, chanting, and Seon meditation. The temple also runs separate sutra study and meditation classes for those seeking deeper teachings.
