Ujeongguk-ro 55, Jongno-gu, Seúl

El templo Jogyesa es el núcleo del budismo zen en Corea, en él se encuentran la oficina principal de administración del budismo coreano y la sala en donde se realiza la asamblea general, entre otras instalaciones. Fue construido hacia finales del siglo XIV (época de Goryeo) en el interior del actual parque Susong, pero fue destruido (en un período indeterminado) debido a un incendio, y fue reconstruido en el año 1910. A lo largo de su historia ha tomado varios nombres, hasta que recibió la denominación de Jogyesa en el año 1954. El nombre deriva del monte Jogyesan, el cual fue el lugar en donde meditó el monje Hyeneungdaesa. Fue uno de los monjes más respetados, por lo cual sus enseñanzas y su vida han sido objeto de estudio a lo largo de la historia. En el altar del templo Jogyesa, al ser el lugar más sagrado y honrado del budismo en Corea, se llevan a cabo eventos, ceremonias y ritos durante todo el año. El edificio próximo al altar principal es la oficina general de administración del budismo coreano, es decir, es un organismo que ejerce las actividades de control y ejecución, por lo que también se efectúan gran cantidad de eventos budistas. Dentro del edificio se establecen las salas de exposiciones y la imprenta, que edita e imprime semanarios budistas. En el patio principal del templo se sitúa la pagoda de piedra de 7 pisos, construida en el año 1930. En especial, dentro de la pagoda se encuentran enterradas las cenizas de Buda, que fueron traídas en el año 1914 por un monje esrilanqués. Hacia la izquierda se encuentra instalado el campanario, que posee un gran tambor, una campana e instrumentos tradicionales de madera que se utilizan en el templo. Al otro lado del campanario está el primer centro cultural académico, construido en el año 1991, en donde se realizan seminarios, actuaciones, ceremonias de boda, conciertos musicales y exposiciones, entre otros eventos culturales.

Imun Seolnongtang has been serving its hearty seolleongtang for over a hundred years since it first opened in 1907. Even its name has a long history: the word imun comes from Imun-gol, the now-obsolete name of the restaurant’s location, and seolnongtang, an old variation of the word seolleongtang. During the Japanese colonial rule, the restaurant’s regular customers included Gijeong Son, the marathon gold-medalist at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. To make the rich seolleongtang broth, beef meat and bones are simmered for more than 15 hours. Try putting rice and minced green onion in your seolleongtang for a warm and tasty experience. Kkakttugi (diced radish kimchi), provided as a side dish, is also delicious.
