About Jogye order

The Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, rooted in a 1200-year history tracing back to the Later Silla period, embodies traditional Korean Buddhism. Established by National Master Doui, it introduced Seon (Zen) teachings from China in the 9th century. The school flourished in the late 11th century under Jinul's leadership, blending Korean Seon practices with sutra-based Buddhism and Pure Land traditions. With over 1700 temples and millions of adherents, the Jogye Order remains a prominent institution. The international Kwan Um School of Zen, a Jogye offshoot, was founded by Seon Master Seungsahn.
