Buddhist temple complex, South Kyŏngsang (Kyŏngsang-nam) (Gyeongsang) province, South Korea (Korea, South). Located west of Taegu in Kayasan (Gayasan) National Park, it was begun in 802 CE and contains a number of valuable religious treasures, chiefly the Tripitaka Koreana. The latter is a collection of more than 80,000 wooden blocks engraved with Buddhist scriptures. Carved in the 13th century at a temple on Kanghwa (Ganghwa) Island, these blocks contain the most complete set of Buddhist religious texts in Asia. The depository in the temple where the Tripitaka Koreana is stored was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995.
