Temples stay is a program which gives you a chance to experience the lifestyle of Buddhist practitioners, in temples which have preserved the original form of traditional Korean Buddhist culture.

Temples in Korea, with their 1700 years of Buddhist history, represent the cultural consciousness of the country, preserving more than 70% of all Korean cultural assets. At the core of the temple’s way of life is the respect for all beings, and a lifestyle that is in harmony with the environment
