pagoda hall can also be found 500 small white statues of the Buddha, or disciples of Buddha. Although generally acknowledged to be a pagoda, some scholars suggest that this is a hybrid of pagoda and worship hall architecture. Because pagoda architecture was brought from Korea to Japan, some hypothesize that the original Palsangjeon may have inspired and resembled the five-story pagoda at Horyu-ji. Beopjusa Palsangjeon is National Treasure of Korea #55 and was designated such on December 20, 1962. Beomeosa Palsangjeon Beomeosa Palsangjeon (Hall of Eight Pictures) at Beomeosa (temple) is one of three halls identified as being in the single structure called the Hall of Three Shrines, or the Arhat's Hall. Records indicate that Beomeosa's Palsangjeon was originally built in 1705 but it is believed the current building that houses Beomeosa Palsangjeon, along with Beomeosa Dokseongjeon (Shrine of the Lonely Saint) and the Beomeosa Nahanjeon (The Shrine of the Sixteen Arhats) was erected sometime in the Late Joseon Era. This arrangement found at Beomeosa is not typical for a Palsangjeon.
