Right in the middle of modern Seoul, a Buddhist haven of peace can be found at Jogyesa temple where century-old traditions survive among the fast-paced city life.
The complex of Jogyesa consists of several interesting constructions. There is the Seven Story Stone Pagoda, which was constructed in 1937 and holds a sarira which was taken to Korea in the early 20th century by a Sri Lankan monk. Then there are two noteworthy trees: a pine tree that is over 500 years old, and the so-called Chinese Scholar Tree which is more than 400 years old; both trees standing just outside the Great Hero Hall. Then there is Paradise Hall, a two-story bell pavilion holding a bell that is struck every morning and evening by Buddhist monks, as well as a meditation centre, a college building and a gift shop.
