Why did Great Master Wonhyo throw a floorboard into the sky? We explore the reason within Buddhist legends that connect the founding stories of Mt. Cheonseong and Naewonsa Temple to the origins of Cheokpanam Hermitage.
Great Master Wonhyo, while in deep spiritual practice, sensed danger at Taihua Temple far away in China. It is said that the single plank he sent flying became the catalyst for saving the lives of over a thousand people.
A story of compassion that looks after lives a thousand miles away, and of people who headed to Silla in search of teachings. Please enjoy this video of a Buddhist legend passed down through generations.
