Banyasa (Korean: 반야사; Hanja: 般若寺, Pronounced “Ba-nya-sa”) is a Buddhist temple of the Jogye Order in Chungcheong, South Korea.

Afterward, he named the temple Banya (般若; perfection of wisdom), and even wrote its plaque, which is still preserved.

Taegeuk-Shaped Terrain and a Tiger In front of Banyasa Temple, Gusucheon Stream, fed by water from Mt.

In the center of the stream rises a lotus bud-shaped piece of land, on which Banyasa Temple seems to lean.

Standing with one's back to the Main Buddha Hall, to the rear of the dormitory on one's right, lies a 300-meter long, natural scree-rockslide that forms the perfect outline of a crouching tiger about to leap.

To attract more tourists Yeongdong-gun County recently established a photo zone from where visitors can take good pictures with the tiger's outline clearly seen in the background.
