Korea's Mt. Odaesan is a holy site considered to be home to 50,000 bodhisattvas. Founded by Vinaya Master Jajang, the temple is renowned to this day for a number of virtuous teachers, including Hanam and Tanheo of recent history. The strikingly artistic and beautiful Octagonal Nine-Story Stone Pagoda (National Treasure) and the Seated Stone Bodhisattva (Treasure) facing the pagoda are both more than 1,000 years old. The temple is also well-known for its surrounding forest of evergreen fir trees.
