Yeongtapsa Temple is located on the side of Sangwangsan Mountain in Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do and faces southeast. It is said that it was built in late Goryeo by State Preceptor Doseon, but this is not confirmed. On top of an octagonal lotus flower-patterned pedestal is the Vairocana Buddha statue, the principal image, with assisting Bodhisattva statues on each side, forming a Buddha Triad. The topknot-shaped usnisa (a protuberance symbolizing supreme wisdom) on top of the curly hair is large, and the rectangular face is plump. The hands are in the jigwonin position (the mudra symbolizing Buddha and the multitude are one), with the right hand covering the left index finger, making it easy to see that it is a Vairocana Buddha. The folds in the clothes are diagrammatic. The upper body is large and long, while the lower body is comparatively small, making the statue look unstable. The knees are positioned low, making the whole body look unbalanced. The chest is flat, and the lower body is especially dull. This style can be seen in statues made after the mid Goryeo Dynasty. The Bodhisattvas on either side are in the same position, carved in the same style. The crowns on their heads are made separately, with the usnisa sticking up high inside them, and the long hair coming down to the shoulders. The faces are basically the same as that of the principal Buddha, but have more feminine features, and the necklace decorations on the chests are exceptionally large. The robes wrapped around the waist look like tightly fastened ropes. The pedestals of the Bodhisattva statues are lotus flower buds stemming from the pedestal of the principal Buddha. This gilt-bronze Buddha statue is regarded as a piece that shows the unique features of Goryeo Buddhas in both composition and form.
