Templestay Information Center

The Temple Stay Public Relations Center is a place that provides information and services related to Temple Stay and temple food. It not only offers guidance on Temple Stay and temple food but also directly operates tea talks with monks, woodblock printing experiences, and traditional cultural experiences to introduce Korean culture to foreigners visiting the country. Temple Stay is a traditional cultural experience program that allows participants to experience the daily life of practitioners at mountain temples, where the 1,700-year history and culture of Korean Buddhism live and breathe. In the clear and serene mountain temples surrounded by vibrant nature, there are stories of the simple culture nurtured by the Korean people and the enlightenment found in wisdom from a single grain of rice or a drop of water. For those seeking a true happiness journey away from their busy daily lives, it delivers a special impression that connects people worldwide beyond national, ethnic, and cultural differences and barriers. Starting with the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup to promote the excellence of Korean traditional culture, Temple Stay has now been experienced by over 2 million people worldwide and has been selected by the OECD as a 'creative and competitive excellent cultural product,' making it a representative cultural experience content of South Korea. With various programs for families, students, corporations, and underprivileged groups, it helps participants discover the true beauty of Korea at mountain temples alive with beautiful nature, history, and culture, and restore relationships through communication.
