Machine-translated from Korean. Show original

According to records, Marananta suffered from an endemic disease while coming to Baekje, but recovered after drinking water from Umyeonsan Mountain. Accordingly, Daeseong Chodang was built on Umyeonsan Mountain, and this is said to be the predecessor of Daeseongsa Temple. In addition, Venerable Baek Yongseong, one of the 33 national representatives of the March 1st Independence Movement, resided here and participated as a Buddhist representative, carrying out the independence movement in a Mahayana spirit. Currently, Daeseongsa Temple enshrines a seated wooden Buddha statue (Seoul Tangible Cultural Heritage) created by Venerable Baek Yongseong.
