Bogyeongsa was first established in 603 C.E. Daedeok Jimyeong, a Buddhist high priest who returned to the Silla Kingdom after studying in China, told King Jinpyeong, “If you find a auspicious site from a famous mountain on the east coast, bury Palmyeonbogyeong (a scripture), and build a Buddhist temple there, you will be able to prevent Japanese pirates from invading the Silla Kingdom, and you will unify the Three Kingdoms.”
Convinced, the king went north along the coast passing Pohang where found a mountain covered with clouds in five colors. That mountain was Naeyeonsan, so the king buried the scriptures here and founded Bogyeongsa.
The word “bogyeong” means scripture in English and where the temple gets its name. It is said this scripture is buried under Daejeokgwangjeon (hall).
