The Kwangbop Temple - Mt. Taesong - Pyongyang
Pyongyang, July 16, 2008 (KCNA) — The Kwangbop Temple
Located at the foot of Mt. Taesong in Pyongyang is the oldest one among the remaining Buddhist temples in Korea.
The temple, built in 392 A.D. when Buddhism began to be disseminated in the country, is a priceless historical relic showing the excellent architecture of the ancestors and time-honored cultural tradition.
The temple, which had been used as a center of religious life of Buddhists, boasting of its long history, was devastated completely by brutal bombings of the U.S. imperialists in July 1952 when the Korean War was at its height.
Even Buddhists had stopped visiting the place for scores of years since then. But it has been restored to its original state at the very site thanks to the policy of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the government of the DPRK for properly preserving and managing the cultural remains of the nation and ensuring the freedom of religion by law and in practice.
The children in the square were practising for a big display marking the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the party.
