 * The HIstory of Chogye Order**

The official name of the Chogye is the Chogye Order of Korean Buddhism. This Chogye Order of Korean Buddhism represents the traditional Korean Buddhism since 1200 years ago, back in Unified Shinla Dynasty. During the Unified Shinla Dynasty, it could be viewed as the peak of the Korean Buddhism cultures. There were many numbers of famous statues, bells and artistic temples made at the time.

One of the most famous statue of Buddha built out of Stone during the Unified Shinla Dynasty.

Even though Chogye was the religion that Korea enforced at the time of Unified Shinla Dynasty, the Confucianism was still repressing the Buddhism., the idea of "respect the elders" is strongly enforced in the Buddhism which was truly influenced by the Confucianism.

Not only there were good times for Buddhism in Korea. At the end of the Joseon dynasty, in late 16th century which is during the Hideyoshi invasions, the Chogye was forced to move into the mountains where the Japanese couldn't see. The Japanese wanted to enforce their religion, and expel the Korea's own religion. Due to that fact, a lot of the temples today in Korea are still in the mountains.

An example of a Korean temple deep inside the mountain, still preserving its existence since 16th century.

Eventually, the attempts were made to reestablish Buddhism in the cities. In 1938, a movement for the establishment of Buddhism in Korea, and has officially established two main goals. They are education and training.
