When visiting Korea, travelers may participate in Templestay, a program initiated by Cultural Corps of Korean Buddhism, to experience the living in a Buddhist temple where nature and human life coexist.
The temples are places where Buddhist monks practice their asceticism, continuing the history and tradition of 1,700 years of Korean Buddhism. The public access to the temples had been restricted before Templestay was opened to international visitors in a bid to promote traditional cultural activities in 2002 World Cup. Now, there are around 130 temples providing Templestay programs, among which 26 temples offer it in English so that non-Koreans can participate Templestay without any difficulties.
