The Silleuksa Temple Shrine was presumably built in the early Joseon period (era of King Yejong). It was built to respect the so-called Three Buddhist Priests, Jigong, Naong, and Muhak, who were the hopes for a declining Buddhism in the late Goryeo period.A portrait of Naong is enshrined in the center and portraits of Jigong and Muhak are on the left and right side. A wooden statue of Naong had also been installed in the shrine.This Shrine is the oldest amongst all of the buildings in Silleuksa Temple. There are walls on three sides and a latticed door on the front.This is a small building built on a stone foundation without a pillar. The floors and ceilings are checkered, a Buddhist altar is at the back wall and there are doors on each side.
