It was founded by Master Uisang in the 18th year of King Munmu of Silla (678) as one of the Hwaeomsipchal (華嚴十刹) temples in Haedong. Among temples across the country, it is the only one that houses the national treasure , and in 'Uisangjeongyo' contained in Part 5 of Volume 4, which is one of the oldest editions, Uisangdaesa is recorded in ten temples. There is a story about spreading the doctrine and founding Hwaeomsipchal, and among these, it is mentioned that 'Geumjeongji Beomeo (金井之梵魚)', that is, Beomeosa Temple on Mt. Geumjeong, is included.
