Dorimsa Temple (도림사)
Jeollanam-do(Gokseong-gun)

Dorimsa was built during the Silla Period (57 B.C.-935 A.D.). It lies on Seongchul Peak at Mt. Dongak (approximately 4km to the west of Gokseong-eup). Monk Wonhyo built the temple in 660 during the 7th year of King Muyeol. It houses Bogwangjeon (a Buddhist sanctuary) and many buildings such as Eungjindang, Jijangjeon, Yaksajeon, Chilseonggak, and Yosachae. The temple possesses the precious Buddhist painting called Gwaebultaeng created in 1683 during the 9th year of King Sukjong. The mountain surrounding the temple is Mt. Dongak (literally Movement of Music) because the sound of music reverberated across the entire mountain when Monk Wonhyo embarked on building the temple. In front of the temple is a beautiful valley surrounded by many odd-shaped rocks. The area shows traces of visits by some of the best scholars, writers and painters since the Joseon Period (1392-1910). Water flowing deep from Mt. Dongak, which stretches over 735 meters in x_height, converges into Dorimsa Valley and forms a dazzling landscape amidst magnificent waterfalls and lush pine forest. Naturally, the temple and its vicinity attract many visitors year-round.
