Jikjisa

Jikjisa is a head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. It is located on the slopes of Hwangaksan in Daehang-myeon, Gimcheon, in the province of Gyeongsangbuk-do. It may be one of the oldest temples in South Korea.

History

The Temple where Great Master Samyeong Became a Monk

Jikjisa Temple (Korean: 직지사, Chinese: 直指寺, Pronounced “Jik-ji-sa”) was established in 418 by Preceptor Ado. There are two stories concerning this temple’s name, “Jikji (直指; literally “pointing with an index finger”). One is that Ven. Ado pointed to Mt. Hwangaksan from Dorisa Temple in Seonsan, and said, “There is also a good temple site on that mountain. The story is that in 936 when Great Master Neungyeo reconstructed the temple, he didn’t use a ruler but instead he used his own hands to measure the land and construction materials, thus, the name “Jikji.”

Mt. Hwangaksan (literally “Yellow Mountain”), on which Jikjisa Temple stands, represents the color yellow, one of the five colors that correspond to the five cardinal points. The colors black, blue, red, white and yellow correspond respectively to north, east, south, west and center. Jikjisa is located near the center of the South Korean land mass. That is why the mountain is called Hwangaksan and why Jikjisa Temple has been considered one of Korea’s foremost temples since ancient times. From Biro Peak, the summit of Mt. Hwangaksan, one can see the three provinces of Gyeongsang, Jeolla and Chungcheong. Thus it can also be said that the temple is situated at the center of three of Korea’s southern provinces.
