Dopiansa Temple
도피안사
In 865 (the 5th year of King Gyeongmun of Unified Silla), National Preceptor Doseon crafted a 91 cm tall Iron Seated Vairocana Buddha. While traveling with several monks to enshrine it at Anyangsa Temple in Yulli-ri, Cheorwon-eup, they took a short rest, during which the statue suddenly vanished. After searching the surrounding area, they found the statue seated peacefully at the present site, where they built a small hermitage to enshrine it.MoreLess
