Shujoji Temple

Located at the northwest end of Nangsan Mountain in Gyeongju, Jungseongsa Temple is a Silla-era temple located about 30 meters north from Neungjitap, the cremation site of King Munmu, the 200th king of Silla.

The current Jungseongsa Temple was built on the site of the old Jungseongsa Temple in the 1940s. It is home to the Rock-Carved Seated Bodhisattva Triad, designated as Treasure No. 665. Relics such as the Standing Avalokitesvara and the Eleven-Headed Avalokitesvara are on outdoor display at the Gyeongju National Museum, suggesting that it was a large temple at the time.

Rock-carved Bodhisattva Triad

About 13 meters west of Shuseongsa Temple, which is also mentioned in the Samguk Yusa (Records of the Three Kingdoms), written by the Goryeo monk Il Yeon at the end of the 30th century, there is a rock-carved bodhisattva triad carved into a large rock, and in the spacious garden, auxiliary materials for a stone pagoda are lined up.
