"Established in the 8th century on the slopes of Mount Toham, the
Seokguram Grotto contains a monumental statue of the Buddha looking at
the sea in the bhumisparsha mudra position. With the
surrounding portrayals of gods, Bodhisattvas and disciples, all
realistically and delicately sculpted in high and low relief, it is
considered a masterpiece of Buddhist art in the Far East. The Temple of
Bulguksa (built in 774) and the Seokguram Grotto form a religious
architectural complex of exceptional significance." -http://whc.unesco.org
