At Yong-cheon-ri of Ok-chon-myon, Yang-pyeong-gun, Kyonggi Province, there is a Buddhist temple called Sa-na-sa(舍那寺), and on the premises of this temple there still remain such relics as a stone stupa, a stone monument by the name of Weon-jeung-kug-sa-seok-jong-myong-bi(圓證國師石鐘銘碑), another stone monument that goes by the name of Dang-sang-gye-bul-yang-bi(堂上稧佛養碑), and a three-storeyed stone pagoda. Also, at Ok-cheon-ri, which is the seat of the municipal office of Ok-chon-myon, there are preserved a three-storeyed stone pagoda, a seated stone Buddha, another stone image, stone flanking pillar, and site of a Buddhist temple.
This area is located on the west of Mt.Yong-mun(龍門 1,157m), and on the wide plain that developed on both sides of the stream flowing from the mountain side several villages are formed here and there. Mt. Yong-mun, being the highest of all mountains in this neighbourhood, stretches its larger or smaller branch ranges towards Yang-pyong-myon, Yong-mun-myon, and Ok-chon-myon. And in these mountains there still are such large and small temples and hermitages as Sang-won-sa(上元寺), Yong-mun-sa(龍門寺), Yun-pil-am(潤筆菴), etc., keeping their religious lights on. Besides, there are a few other structures, which are no longer Buddhist temples, here. Sa-na-sa, for its generally least well-known Buddhistic relics of all in Mt. Yong-mun, is a very old temple, its founding dating back to Koryo dynasty period. It greatly prospered in Koryo period, once accommodating King Chung-ryeol(忠烈)in it temporarily. In far later period of Koryo dynasty, the then greatly reverenced Priest Tae-go(太古) came to stay here, and left such constructions as the stone bell-shaped stupa and the stone monument with inscriptions (Weon-jeung-kug-sa-seok-jong-myong-bi) to be erected on the premises.
Entering upon the Yi dynasty, the fortunes of this temple had to experience a general decline, but in the 18th century, Buddhists in many regions as well as those in the county united their efforts to reinstate the temple, giving it farmlands in donation. In this century, however, the temple was burned down to earth under the tyrannical oppression by the Japanese in 1907. It was reconstructed later, but once again made victim of a fire during the Korean War. Thus the edifices that remain standing today are of the more recent construction.
There are two supposed sites of Buddhist temples at Ok-chon-myon, and in one of the two there remains a stone flanking pillar. In the other, however, there is nothing remaining, except for some broken tiles and broken pieces of porcelain scattered around. The stone pagoda and stone statue of Buddha removed from this latter site are now preserved in a section of Ok-chon-ri. These relics are all supposed to have been made in Koryo period, and the temple which is no more today is also supposed to have been of Koryo pepriod.
