Recorded origin, in the register's own words
달을 가장 오래 볼 수 있다하여 영월암이라 함. 이 절에는 토굴이 있어 삼한시대부터 이름난 위인들이 이토굴에서 수행하였다 함.
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.
