Recorded origin, in the register's own words
고려 신종 3년 보조국사 지눌 창건 1954년 김광원, 최봉곡 주지가 중건
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.
