S. Korean Buddhist leader to visit N. Korea
SEOUL, Jan. 28 (Yonhap) -- The leader of the Jogye order, South Korea's largest Buddhist sect, will travel to North Korea this weekend to promote religious exchanges amid sharpened military tension across the border, his office said Thursday.
In the four-day trip to Pyongyang starting Saturday, Rev. Jaseung will meet with leaders of the Buddhist Federation of Korea, the North's body of the religion, to explore ways of "reinforcing Buddhist exchanges and other non-government exchanges between the Buddhist sects of the two Koreas," the Jogye Order said in a statement.
