Information on Templestay for Foreign Visitors (2012.05.30)Greetings from the Cultural Corps of Korean Buddhism! We’re the ones in charge of running Templestay – the world-renowned program which gives everyone a chance to personally experience traditional Korean culture.
Beginning this year, we set up the Templestay program even more readily accessible to all foreign visitors in Korea who would like to participate. Now, the temples in the table below have an organized system in place allowing those participants who don’t speak Korean to receive instructions in English at any time and easily take part in the program.
Any questions or inquiries regarding these particular English-oriented Templestay programs can be referred to the team coordinator Sae-Mi Hong at (02)2031-2036. All other general inquiries regarding either individual or group Templestay programs can be made by contacting the Templestay Information Center (02) 2031-2000, http://www.templestay.com
