Recorded origin, in the register's own words

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.
