Where to do a 'Rains Retreat' in South Korea?
In his book, "Confessions of a Buddhist Atheist", Stephen Batchelor, Spiegel &amp; Grau, Random House, 2010, describes his experience of doing just this in 1981.  Batchelor's first Zen retreat was at Songgwangsa, under the guidance of Kusan Sunim, and he stayed until 1984, a year after Kusan Sunim's death.
