Abstract
In the late Silla era when the Seon School was first introduced to Korea, there was social turmoil, and Seon monks had difficulty in establishing temples wherein they could teach the public in relative comfort. This situation forced most Seon monks to establish their own temples by partly dismantling and repairing pre-existing temples (or their former sites).
