Established in 384 CE
Renowned as a sanctuary for the cultivation of learning and virtues, Sudeoksa Temple has been home to many Seon masters. Modern giants from the temple include Seon masters Gyeongheo and Mangong. In 1984, the temple was promoted to the status of a comprehensive monastic training complex (chongnim). The main dharma hall at the temple was built in 1308 CE and is one of Korea's oldest existing structures (National Treasure). The temple and its branch temples have contributed more than 600 Buddhist cultural treasures dating all the way back to the Baekje Kingdom. Many are on display in the temple’s Geunyeok Sacred Treasure Museum.
