Muryangsujeon (Main Hall)

Buseoksa Temple
Yeongju, Korea

Buseoksa was founded by Uisang in 676 AD (Silla). Its Main Hall (1376, Goryeo) is the oldest building in the present temple, and one of the oldest surviving wooden buildings in Korea. The temple belongs to the Huayan (Hwaeom, in Korean) school of Buddhism, although its layout is more Pure Land than Avatamsaka (for example, there is no Vairocana hall).

Buseoksa is a mountain temple, built on three levels, that takes full advantage of the site's spectacular feng shui to encode a representation of Amitabha Buddha's Western Paradise; see pusoksa.buddhism.org for a nice slide show.
