세계유산 산사에서의 템플스테이 편집하기 (부분)

===Eng===
Templestay is one of Korea’s most distinctive cultural programs, offering participants the opportunity to experience Buddhist culture and monastic life by staying at a traditional temple. It provides time for quiet reflection and peace of mind while taking part in the daily routine of a serene mountain monastery. First introduced in 2002 during the Korea–Japan World Cup, the program has since expanded to around 150 temples nationwide. Among the seven Buddhist mountain monasteries inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage sites, six—except for Buseoksa Temple in Yeongju—operate templestay programs that allow both Koreans and international visitors to experience the living tradition of Korean Buddhism.

Tongdosa, Beopjusa, Magoksa, and Daeheungsa are designated as Templestay for International Participants Temples, providing customized programs and English-language support for visitors from around the world. In particular, Tongdosa is also recognized as a Temple Food Heritage Temple, preserving and passing down the authentic recipes and traditions of Korean Buddhist cuisine.

Reservations can be made easily through the official Templestay website (www.templestay.com). Participants can browse temple programs, schedules, and formats—whether overnight or one-day—and complete registration and payment online. Applications are open to individuals, families, and groups, and several temples provide English-language guidance and interpretation services for foreign visitors.

Templestay programs are generally divided into rest-oriented and experience-oriented types. The rest-oriented templestay focuses on meditation, quiet walks, and tea conversation in the peaceful natural setting of a mountain temple, offering relaxation and mindfulness. The experience-oriented templestay allows participants to take part in traditional Buddhist practices such as Buddhist service, 108 prostrations, monastic meal, tea ceremony, lotus lantern making, and cultural heritage tours.

At the Templestay Information Center in Jongno, Seoul, visitors can learn about Buddhist culture, explore details of participating temples across the country, and receive assistance with reservations and program information.
