Yoseonjeong Pavilion & Yoseonam Rock
Yoseong Pavilion is a pavilion located in Mureung-ri, Suju-myeon, with a clear stream flowing in front of it, and the characters 'Yoseong Rock' are carved into a large flat rock on the riverbank. Yoseong Pavilion is said to be a place where, during the height of Buddhism in the Unified Silla period, National Preceptor Cheolgam Doyun and Zen Master Jinghyo established the Heungryeong Seonwon monastery at the foot of Saja Mountain not far from here and frequently came to propagate Buddhism; it is said to have been a site of a small hermitage at that time. Additionally, when Zen Master Jinghyo attained Nirvana here, approximately one thousand sarira were produced, making it a place with deep Buddhist connections. A Buddhist relief statue and one small stone pagoda still remain in the vicinity of the pavilion today.
