Taean Temple stupa becomes National Treasure

Choi Eung-chon, third from right, head of the Korea Heritage Service, gestures toward the Stupa of Master Jeokin at Taean Temple in Gokseong, South Jeolla Province, Tuesday. The stone stupa commemorates monk Hyecheol, also known as Master Jeokin, who studied in China during the Tang Dynasty and later spread Buddha's teachings at the temple. On March 11, the Korea Heritage Service elevated the stupa's designation to National Treasure, Korea’s highest heritage status, 61 years after it was first recognized as a Treasure in 1963.
