ounded in July 1969 by the late Master Tanheo for the global propagation and teaching of Buddhism, as well as for the fostering of internationally-oriented Buddhists, Jakwangsa ("Temple of Compassionate Light") is run by the Tanheo Buddhist Cultural Foundation, established in 1984. The International Meditation Center was opened in the spring of 2004 and it is working towards playing a major role as a site for international Buddhism. As part of these efforts, the temple holds a series of lectures by foreign monks in addition to numerous other special as well as regular training programs.
