Recorded origin, in the register's own words

신라 문무왕 또는 신문왕 때 보광사가 세워진 후 망운산 남쪽에 연죽사로 시발. 그후 진각국사가 현위치로 옮김.

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.
