Jijangjeon Hall

Beomeosa Temple
Busan, Korea

Jijangjeon (1613) is a hall dedicated to the savior bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, who saves sinners from hell. Rebuilt in 1891, the hall burned down in 1988, and was rebuilt again in 1990. It is located just to the left of the Main Hall; behind and above it, at photo left, can be seen a small bit of the Arhats Hall (later page).

Ksitigarbha, the main image in the hall, is displayed in front of a painted screen. He is surrounded by the Ten Kings of Hell, guardians, attendants, and officials.
