Il and burning desire to absolutely trust and follow them and remain loyal
to them, they noted.

companion of the WPK and a shock
brigade in building a powerful nation, they noted that this is indicative

vanguard loyal to the party which gives
steadfast continuity to the tradition of monolithic unity, united close
around him.

Koryo Temple site discovered
Pyongyang, August 23 (KCNA) -- The site of the Ryongthong Temple, a
Buddhist temple of the Koryo dynasty
which existed between 918 and 1392 as the first unified Korean state, has
recently been discovered in
Ryonghungdong, Kaesong, in the middle of Korea.
From its outset, Koryo set Buddhism as its state religion and started
building temples on a large scale along with
royal palaces.
The Ryongthong Temple was one of the large temples built on a wide
complex, surrounded by many buildings
including the main shrine and stone structures.
The temple had fame for Ui Chon, scholar and monk of the 11th century,
lived and was buried there.
Ui Chon (1055-1101) was the fourth son of Mun Jong, the 11th king of
Koryo. Although he was a prince, he
entered priesthood when he was ten years old. He was always concerned about
the socio-economic affairs of the
country and wrote many books, including those which advocated the need to
introduce metallic currency and literary
works contributing greatly to the development of the socio-economy and
culture at the time.
Later, the temple was burnt by foreign invaders.
The excavation revealed that there remained the site of the tomb of Ui
Chon with gravestone, a five-storied stone
pagoda and two three-storied pagodas, a stone post and the area of monks'
tombs.
Archaeologists from the Academy of Social Sciences carried out an
overall excavation of the tomb of Ui Chon,
eastern and western sections of the temple and the area of the monks' tombs.
According to the investigation, the site of the temple consists mainly
of the entrance, building sites, the tomb of Ui
Chon and the area of monks' tombs, covering an area of 40,000 square metres.
Relics were also discovered, including a small pagoda, the hair model
of a Buddhist statue, an iron Buddhist
image, the head of a stone Buddhist image, various kinds of beads, roof
tile, Koryo celadon and metalwork.
The excavation of the temple serves as a source of knowledge about
Buddhist culture which thrived in the Koryo
period.
