Recorded origin, in the register's own words

1938년 8월 10일 대지 100편에 김언연보살이 여암사 창건함. 1962년 조계종으로 승인과 동시 등록하였고 현재는 일붕 선교종으로 종단을 변경, 현재는 혜삼스님이 이곳에 와 관리하고 있음.

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.
