World Heritage Site of Korea finds 80,000 woodblocks of Tripitaka Koreana in the Janggyeong Panjeon in the Temple of Haeinsa which exists on the slopes of Mount Gayasan in Korea. It makes a good destination for scholars from all over the world who want to know the history of the 6^th world and beyond.

Unesco’s  accounts  on this site reads, ‘The Haeinsa Tripitaka woodblocks were carved in an appeal to the authority of the Buddha in the defence of Korea against the Mongol invasions….The woodblocks are also valuable for the delicate carvings of the Chinese characters, so regular as to suggest that they are the work of a single hand’.

According to historians, this temple was ‘constructed in the 15th century in the traditional style of the early Joseon period’.

Ancient root of Korea identifies its historical root with river Koa and Indus river basin on the bank of which Anjanavana, Hansa, and Caesarea or Kesuria of Roman history were situated. While Haeisa is as same as Hansa of Indian puranas and Hysperesia of Homeric epics, Panjeon refers to Anjana forest of the Sakyas on the bank of the river Koa, and Janggyeong marks an altar; jaggati means ‘altar’ . It is also a symbol that shows a woman’s bowing down position to a ‘candle’ (dipa) burning before a chaitya or stupa.

Anciently Gaya was name of a bathing ghat; it was a place which was at a distance of three gavutas from the place of the Enlightenment of the Buddha or from the Bodhi Tree of this site. This exactly marks the Place of First Sermon where the Buddha met Upaka.

Korean peninsula is the second settlements of people migrated from the region of Koa river of Kosala kingdom.
