Heal your body & mind in Busan

Samgwangsa Temple

Samgwangsa Temple, located in Choeup-dong, Busanjin-gu, is the second temple of the Cheontae Order. From late April to early May, as many as 50,000 lanterns are hung to commemorate Buddha’s birthday.

The Lotus Lantern Festival is a traditional Korean culture event that has been around for over 1300 years. It is a festival intended to light up the hearts of citizens that may have been darkened by greed and selfishness by lighting the lanterns on the day of the coming of Buddha, and to pray for harmony and prosperity in society in general.

On Buddha’s birthday, you can experience not only the Lotus Lantern Festival, but also a temple stay where you can enjoy traditional Korean culture, make lotus flowers, and walk in the forest. Try taking a break from Busan while looking introspectively at yourself at Samgwangsa Temple in the heart of the city!
