Haein Temple, called 'Beopbo Jongchal' (the most important temple with the precious words of Buddha, Gautama Siddhartha) because it keeps Palman Daejang Gyeong (Eighty thousand Tripitaka - 'Buddhist scriptures') ('Beopbo' means the precious words of Buddha and 'Jongcha' means one of the most important or largest temples) is among the best three Korean temples including Tongdo Temple, Bulbo Temple ('Bulbo' means Buddha's treasure), and Songgwang Temple, Seung Bo Temple ('Seung Bo' means Buddhist monk's treasure) - the center of Korea Buddhist culture. Haein temple is the basic resource of Buddhism of Hwaeon Sect, keeping the Palman Daejang Gyeong, the symbol of the national harmony of the Korean nation's faith. (Note: Hwaeom is the Korean name for the Flower Garland school of Buddhism, best known as the Huayan school of Chinese Buddhism that developed as part of the Mahayana branch). Buddhism first began in India, and as it spread to other areas, distinct branches developed. The Mahayana branch developed in China, and is found today primarily in China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea. In Korea, the major schools in the Mahayana branch are the Zen or Seon School, which focuses on meditation; the Pure Land or Jeongto School and the Hwaeom School. Haein Temple is a Buddhist temple built in Silla dynasty as one of the so called '10 Hwaeom Temples' under the banner of spreading and enhancing the spiritual foundation of Hwaeom sect. The Avatamsaka Sutra, the most influential Mahayana sutras of East Asia Buddhism (Flower Garland Sutra) written in the 4th century in Central Asia is the highest of the Mahayana Sutras, which was originally called 'Daebang Gwangbul Hwaeom Gyeong' and now commonly Hwaeom Gyeong and is called the essence of Oriental Culture. In this scripture, there is a word of Haein Sammae after which 'Haein Temple' was named. Haein Sammae means the stage that the various true images of the universe are reflected on the sea when the world, as it is, is compared to the infinitely deep and wide sea and the wild waves, that is, the common people's agonies and delusions have finally stopped. As such, the real world is the Buddha's enlightenment and the common people's original appearance. It is the teaching of Haein Sammae, based on such spirit. Haein Temple was built by two monks, Suneung and Ijeong, (the former was the disciple of Buddhist Master Euisang (AD 625 - 702), the first ancestor of Haedong Hwaeom Sect and the latter the disciple of Suneung, in what Daejeok Kwang Jeon (Hall of Great Silence and Light) is now located through the good offices of the 40th King Aejang and his wife of Silla Dynasty, on 16th of October, AD 802 (the 3rd year of King Aejang)). Thus, Hwaeomjong Sect produced Buddhist Master Hirang and excellent learned priests Kyunyeo and Euicheon as well with Haein Temple as its center through the Silla Dynasty which experienced the flourishing period of Buddhism. Haein Temple is the sacred place of Korean Buddhism. In addition, the jewel temple is preserving many cultural heritages such as about 70 pieces of the National Treasure and Treasure: Banyasa Wongyeongwangsabi - (the memorial stone of Buddhist Master Wongyeong for the king), Geonchit Mokjo Hirangdaesasang (the dry lacquered wooden statue of Buddhist Master Hirang), Yeongsan Hoesangdo (paintings of Sakyamuni Buddha's preaching on Mt. Yeongchwisan (Spirit Mountain), Cheongryang Seokjo Seokkayeorae Jwasang, the stone Buddha's seating statue at Cheongryang Temple) and Samcheungtap (the three-story stone pagoda at Cheongryang Temple), etc, including the Janggyeong Panjeon complex (the depository for the Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks at Haeinsa) designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Site and Palman Daejang Gyeong (Eighty Thousand Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks (Buddhist scriptures)) designated by UNESCO as Memory of the World. And the costumes of Gwanghaegun (or Prince Gwanghae, the fifteenth king of the Joseon dynasty (1574-1641; reigned 1608-1623)) and his wife and his court ladies have been kept and handed over as important folk materials at Haein Temple.
