The origins of Buddhism in Korea

In the fourth century AD, Buddhism was introduced to Korea from China eastward. At that time, the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla on the Korean Peninsula were standing together. In the mid-seventh century, Silla united with the Tang Dynasty, destroyed Gao and Bai, and established a unified dynasty. Buddhism gradually separated from the Chinese inheritance and established the unique teaching of Korean Buddhism. At the end of the 14th century, the Silla Dynasty was replaced by the Goryeo Dynasty (918 to 1392); under the protection of the royal family, Buddhism developed from development to prosperity during more than 400 years, and the transformation process of integration formed a rich Religion with Korean characteristics.
