Like Silla, Goryeo protected Buddhism and, under the idea of protecting the nation with the power of Buddha, the temples grew into a major force under the patronage of successive kings and nobles. Therefore, various Buddhist cultures flourished during the Goryeo period. ● Korean Buddhism The transmission of Buddhism to the Korean Peninsula began in the late 4th century during the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties period... It originated in India, the birthplace of Buddhism, and spread to China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan.
