Recorded origin, in the register's own words

조선초(1327-1405) 무학자초가 조선의 수도를 정하고자 각처를 다니다가 창건

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.
