Each temple represents a &#8220;jewel&#8221; or precept of Buddhism. The three precepts are: the person itself, aka Buddha, the Dharma or the teachings of Buddha, and the Sangha or the community of practicing Buddhists. Each of the temples listed below are thought to represent one aspect of the three precepts better than any of the other temples in Korea.
