What is the Korean Temple Stay?

Temple stays are a unique cultural program bred on the home grounds of South Korea. Korean Temple Stays allow you to have a different kind of travel experience altogether. In a Korean Temple Stay trip, you get to live and adapt to the life of Buddhist practitioners & learn more about their culture & history from the stories they narrate to you. 

What is so unique about these Korean Temples?

The concept had its birth in the year 2002 during the World cup. When the game was on, the monks opened the temple gates for both the Korean & non-Korean sports lovers. Henceforth the Jogye Order of Buddhism declared the permanent program of Korean Temple Stays. 

You might not know, but Korean Buddhism has a history of over a thousand years. Their monastic life & the rare Korean temple architecture can help anybody attain inner calm or peace of mind. If you are looking for some tranquility or food for the soul, then you must check out these seats of spiritual nourishment right now. Thailand temple stays are also an option these days, but nothing beats these Korean Temple Stays.
