Summary

Description

Seonam Temple, Seonamsa, is a Korean Buddhist temple located on the eastern slope at the west end of Mount Jogyesan Provincial Park, within the northern Seungjumyeon District of the city of Suncheon, Jeollanamdo Province, South Korea.

The name Seonam (Heavenly Rock) is derived from the legend that a heavenly being once played the game of Go here.

Legend states that in 529 CE missionary-monk Ado built a hermitage at this site on the eastern slope of Jogyesan and named it Biroam.

350 years later in 861 National Master Doseon Guksa constructed a grand temple here and named it Seonamsa.
