            Yeongsanjae has been designated as Intangible Cultural Assets, 
              no. 50 and held at Bongwonsa[temple] every year. The purpose of 
              Yeongsanjae performance is to resume the heritage of Beom-eum[Buddhist 
              music] which has faded away and to transmit to next generations. 
              According to the national policy to preserve cultural assets, Yeongsanjae 
              was designated as a stage performance and Park Song-am, Jang Byeok-eung, 
              Kim Un-gong[names of monks] as the certified skill holders in Pompae 
              on November 5, 1973. In 1987 it is changed from a stage performance 
              to a outdoor performance and Lee Il-eung[name of monk] were designated 
              as the certified skill holder in Jakbeop, Jeong Jigwang[name of 
              monk] as the certified skill holder in ornamentation of Yeongsanjae. 
              Since then Yeongsanjae has been continued its legacy by the core 
              effort of Yeongsanjae Preservation Association. Okcheonbeom-eum 
              college is an affiliated organization of Yeongsanjae Preservation 
              Association and located at Bongwonsa[temple] of Korean Taego Buddhist 
              Order. All kinds of Beom-eum, such as Sangjugwon-gong, gakbae and

              Song-am and Jang Byeok-eung[name of monks] at the college. It is
