That's when I first got interested in the Buddhist's war hero. I have not seen any Korean mini series about him yet. It will be more interesting to watch than other well known figure like Yi Sunshin. GI,

As a kid growing up in Korea, I watched puppet show on SaMyeong-Daesa. That’s when I first got interested in the Buddhist’s war hero. I have not seen any Korean mini series about him yet. It will be more interesting to watch than other well known figure like Yi Sunshin.

The Imjim War period brought out many legitimate Korean heroes and Samyeong-daesa is just one of them. The story of Samyeong-daesa is quite amazing and it is unfortunate so few Koreans know of him.

It was also amazing to mobilize monks to become a SuengGun (Priest army). These monks never killed any living thing in their life as Buddhist priest and he was able mobilized them in the effective fighting force. Instead of rosary, they carried weapon to kill to defend their temple when their country needed it them. No consciencious objection here. SamyongDaesa was a true Korean hero.
