About Jogyesa Seon Meditation Guide

Did you know a white pine that has stood for 500 years grows in the busiest streets of Seoul? Jogyesa, head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, is open to everyone 24 hours a day. Pause beneath the white pine and the pagoda tree, and before the stupa that enshrines relics of the Buddha.

As you meditate with someone close to you in mind, peace of mind quietly arrives. Please wear earphones while listening.
