Songkwang-sa, the Sangha-jewel temple in Korea, is situated
in the southwest corner of the country in the province of
Cholla Namdo, between the towns of Kwangju and Sunchon. The
temple was also restored in 1969 to the status of a ch'ongnim
(lit. "grove of trees"), a designation reserved
for major ecumenical monasteries where training is offered
in all the different varieties of Korean Buddhist practice,
from Son (Zen), meditation, to doctrinal study, to recitation
of the Buddha's name. Kusan (1910-1983) appointed it's Son
master (pangjang), large-scale reconstruction commenced. A
new meditation hall and a massive lecture hall were built.
And most of the minor shrines in the monastery were repaired.
Kuan's strong leadership and his concern to receive the Son
tradition of the temple's founder, Chinul, restored Songkwang-sa's
place at the forefront of the Korean Buddhist tradition. In
1973, Master Kusna also set up the Bulil International Buddhist
Center. Many foreign monks come from all over the world to
practice Son meditation.
