Geumsan Temple of Gimje and Seonun Temple of Gochang, both within Jeollabuk province, are among the 17 temples to recently open their doors all year-round for temple stays. On January 10th 2012, they signed an agreement with the Jogye Order’s Cultural Corps of Korean Buddhism to welcome the public in experiencing the lives of Buddhist monks in Korea. The program is meant to guide participants through a spiritually calming experience while demonstrating Korean Buddhism. Courtesy, Korea IT Times.
