Recorded origin, in the register's own words
고구려 소수림왕 11년(381)에 아도화상이 창건하고 "진종사"라 칭함 고려 충렬왕8년(1282) 정화공주가 옥등을 헌납한 후 전등사라 개칭하여 오늘에 이르고 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.
