Buddhism education in modern times is closely related in changes of a head temple system(based on main temples). 13 main temples with Wonheungsa were built around the country, and 16 main temples were chosen by public official center system(System that a country administers temples). After that, 30 head temples were designated by Sachalryoung(寺刹令) in 1911, the starting year of Japan‘s colonial rule of Korea. The 30 head temples system became the center of established temple system through the Buddhism history in modern times. In this period, the modern Buddhism education system was established with various events to have a complex education system of Chongrim(叢林) and the system pushed on cultivating men of ability.

Especially the article focuses on the education system and the aspect of cultivating men of ability from Donggukgyeongwon(東國經院) at Yujeomsa(楡岾寺), Gangwon, one of 16 main temples, and also one of 30 head temples. Donggukgyeongwon was established by Kim, dong-seon, Lee, hon-seong, Bark, Yong-ha as a part of cultivating men of ability in Buddhism study. It is remarkable that Donggukgyeongwon was focusing on raising a researcher studying Confucian classics(a person trying to find out a basic truth of Buddhism based on the doctrine) comparing most of education centers in modern times were focusing on educating people and raising a leader for proper guidance. It is also remarkable that it took 10 years to raise a group of professional Buddhism researchers at one time.
