Introduction to Geumgangam (Busan)
The exact date of the founding of Geumgangam, the hermitage inside Beomeosa Temple, is unknown, but according to records, it was rebuilt by Master Chwigyu along with Daeseongam Hermitage at Beomeosa Temple in 1803 (the 3rd year of King Sunjo's reign).
There is a record that the monk Oh Seong-wol opened the first Buddhist temple at Geumgangam in Beomeosa Temple in 1899, so it can be said to be significant in that Geumgangam was the starting point of a sensation at the time.
The name of Geumgangam was discovered among the rebuilt stone gates that were made in the 1800s and remain today, so we can only guess at the time when Beomeosa Temple Geumgangam was rebuilt.
In the 1980s, Byeokpa began to reside at Geumgangam Hermitage at Beomeosa Temple as the chief priest, and Geumgangam Hermitage, which was just a small hermitage within the mountain of Beomeosa Temple, gradually gained fame and began to expand. For about 7 years from 1984 to 1991, Jeong Yeo, the superior of Byeokpa, rebuilt the Buddhist temple. With his leadership, Beomeosa Temple's Geumgangam Temple acquired its current form.
At this time, the tablets and juryeon written in Korean, which are a feature of Geumgangam of Beomeosa Temple, were also installed.
If you go towards the north gate of Geumjeongsan Mountain on the left side of Beomeosa Temple, you will come across Daeseongam Hermitage. If you pass Daeseongam Rock and go up the rocky valley, you will come across Geumgangam Rock, one of the eight scenic spots of Beomeosa Temple, well-known as [Geumgangmanpung].
