History
Korinzi Temple stands where light and forest become one, a place of auspicious harmony. The ancient monks who consecrated these halls established a spiritual boundary that still radiates pure light. The illumination here becomes a lantern in pilgrims' hearts, guiding them through the darkness of delusion.
