Buddhism was officially accepted in Goguryeo in the second year of King So-su-rim(372 CE) by the acquisition of Buddha Images and Scriptures from Venerable Sun-do, who came from Eastern Chin in China.

Goguryeo accepted Buddhism as an ideological means to control people and sanctify the power of sovereignty.
