'''Wŏn'gwang (; 541–630?), also known as Wŏn'gwang pŏpsa''' () meaning "Wŏn'gwang Teacher of the Law", was the name of a renowned Buddhist monk, scholar, and teacher of the Silla kingdom during the reign of King Jinpyeong.
His layname was Seol (설 hanja: 薛) or Bak (박 hanja: 朴). Like a great number of other Korean Buddhist monks of the 6th-8th centuries, Wŏn'gwang traveled to China in search of a more thorough grounding in the sacred texts of Buddhism. In 589 Wŏn'gwang went to Sui China, where for eleven years he was educated in the major texts of both Hinayana and Mahayana Buddhism.
