This is a rubbed copy of a stele erected in 813 (the fifth year of the reign of King Heondeok of Silla) for Master Sinhaeng at Dansoksa Temple in Un-ri, Danseong-myeon, Sancheong-gun, South Gyeongsang-do Province. Master Sinhaeng became a monk when he was over thirty years old and studied in China. The inscriptions on the stele, erected some thirty-four years after Sim passed away in 779, provide important information about the early history of Seon Buddhism.
