Yeonggak

 

The statue of Jijang Bodhisattva Triad is enshrined on the alter in this building. The portraits of venerable seven monks who greatly affected the development of this temple are enshrined here, too. They are the Bongeunsa founder Master Yeonhoei, the reviver Master Bowoo, Master Seosan, Master Samy대ng, Master Yeonggi, Master Yeongam, and Master Seokju. Yeonggak also retains memorial tablets for 201 victimized Korean soldiers. Originally this seven pyung building was called Chungryunggak in 1967 and it was reconstructed to double-sized building Yeonggak in 1992.
