[전국]’Thousand Year Temple’ Turned to Ashes … ‘Banghwa’ Monk Order

[앵커]

The Thousand Year Old Temple Daewoongjeon has been restored to ashes again six years after it was restored with donations from citizens.

A monk A, a monk in his 50s, who was practicing in Naejangsa, set fire in disagreement with his colleagues.

The police requested an arrest warrant for Mr. A.

It was completely burned and turned into a terrible ash.

Only the pillars that were burned dark make us guess the site of the Naejangsa Daeungjeon.

In 2012, before the fire horse scars faded, the nightmare was re-enacted.

[내장사 신도 : 복원을 했잖아요. 너무 좋아서 올 때마다 한 바퀴씩 돌아보고 그랬는데 시간이 엄청나게 걸려서 지었는데 또 이런 사고가 나니까 너무 속상해서….]

It was a wooden building and the weather was dry, so the fire quickly engulfed the entire Daeungjeon Hall.

In particular, it was so good that I was lucky it didn’t spread to Naejangsan.

Seven-eight monks tried to put out the flames with fire extinguishers, but were unable to rescue any discord or tablets, much less the initial evolution.

[내장사 신도 : 쳐다볼 수밖에 없고 어떻게 하느냐고요. 언니가 위패라도 찾으려고 했는데 못 찾았어요.]

The police requested an arrest warrant for A, the 53-year-old monk who set fire.

It was investigated that Mr. A reported himself to the police after spraying gasoline and lighting the Daeungjeon Hall.

Furthermore, the monks who lived together saddened that they set fire and quietly admitted the crime.

Police confirmed that Mr. A entered Naejangsa Temple three months ago as a monk and is investigating the details of the incident.
