The South is famed for its tenacity, rapidly becoming one of the industrialized giants of the world. Korean Buddhism is not a subject that has been exposed to the wider world. In modern Korea, there is little time for a slow pace of life. Korean Buddhism with its links to India, Tibet and China has played a pivotal role in the country’s history and remains today a fascinating subject.
