Explanation

Yaksaam Hermitage was founded during the Silla dynasty atop Geumosan Mountain in Gumi City. Yaksajeon Hall, the centerpiece of Yaksaam Hermitage, stands at the base of a rocky cliff. The granite Seated Rock-Carved Medicine Buddha, enshrined in Yaksajeon Hall, along with those at Sudoam Hermitage on Sudosan Mountain and at Samseongam Hermitage on Hwangaksan Mountain, are collectively known as the Three Brothers. Spring water flows out of a crack in the rock wall on the east side of the temple. Legend has it that in the past, grains of rice once fell one by one from this hole.
