Recorded origin, in the register's own words

극락암은 상주의 명산인 팔음산 기슭인 모서면 화현리 57-3번지에 있으며, 1913년 김보문행(金普門行)보살에 의하여 창건된 조계종 산하의 전통사찰이다.

This paragraph is the origin and history field of the traditional temple register published by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, copied exactly. We leave it in Korean rather than translating it, because a translation would put founding dates, people and schools of Buddhism into words the source never used. Nothing here was added or edited by us.
