Recorded origin, in the register's own words
보광사는 949년(정종4)에 혜거국사가 창건하였으며, 이후 영의정을 지냈던 이유원이 화담선사를위해 절을 중건하고 자신의 원찰로 삼았다고 한다.
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.
