This statue is carved on the wood, and consists of the Amitabul seated statue and Daesejibosal. According to the original literature of the building, on October in the 16th year (Gyeonshin) of King Yeoungjo, a faithful lady named Jeong Gi Chun considered this world as a house of fire and a set of empty floating clouds, and built the statue to practice virtues. Builders of loyalists were Inseong, Chijun, Jichan, Samahn, and they have built the statue in the Won-tong-ahm of mountain Dobong and kept it in the Jinkwansa Temple of the Mt. Triangle and moved it to Doseonsa Temple prior to the Korean War. Main Amitabul statue does not have the grand seating and halo but the statue can be considered as perfect. It also shows the same style as the Daesejibosal statue and wooden Amitabul.
