Seonjong (9 October 1049 – 17 June 1094) was the 13th king of the Korean Goryeo dynasty. He was the second son of Empress Inye and born in September, 1049. He was made Marquis of Gukwon (國原侯) in March 1056. Harmony of Confucism and Buddhism made his political statute very stable. Also he propelled broad-range trade among the Song dynasty, Liao dynasty, the Jurchens, and Japan.
During his period, Buddhism in Korea expanded greatly. His brother Uicheon brought 1,000 scriptures from the Song dynasty and bought 4,000 scriptures from the Liao dynasty, Song dynasty, and Japan. Furthermore, Seonjong founded many pagodas for Buddhist temples and presented clothing for soldiers guarding the borders. One of the most famous Buddhist temples in Korea, Yongamsa Temple on Mt. Jangji, was constructed during his reign after Seonjong dreamt of a Buddhist monk begging for foot.
