Located at the foot of Seongheungsan Mountain in Buyeo, Chungnam, Daejosa Temple is an ancient temple said to have been founded during the Baekje period. On the mountainside behind Wontongbojeon Hall stands the Stone Standing Maitreya Bodhisattva (Treasure) from the Goryeo period, reaching a height of 10 meters. Wearing a square stone hat on its head and boasting a massive scale, this Mireukbul, along with the Mireukbul of Gwanchoksa Temple in Nonsan, represents the regional stone Buddha style of Goryeo.
Throughout the cozy temple grounds, including the Daejosa Stone Pagoda and the neat Wooden Seated Bodhisattva, you can experience the tranquil scenery and mysterious history of this thousand-year-old temple together.
