Korean temples, known as sa, are places of worship and meditation primarily associated with Buddhism. They often feature traditional wooden architecture, intricate carvings, and colorful paintings. Many temples are located in serene natural settings, providing a peaceful environment for visitors and practitioners. These temples serve various purposes, including spiritual retreats, cultural preservation, and community gatherings. Notable examples include Jogyesa in Seoul and Haeinsa, which houses the Tripitaka Koreana, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visitors can experience temple stays, where they participate in daily rituals and learn about Buddhist practices.
