Bongwon-Temple was originally built on the site of today’s Yonsei University (former Yonhi palace) by Great Master Doseon(827-898 A.D.) in 889 A.D.
Bongwon-Temple has come to grandeur step by step since its establishment, due to continuous reconstruction over time. Currently, the temple is involved in several missoinary projects and is home to many Buddhist Groups, such as the Kwaneum Layman Association, Buddhist Young man Association, and the Buddhist student Association.
