Hyeonmumun Temple, a Korean Buddhist temple in Pyong Yang.

The type of Buddhism primarily practised today is of the Seon lineage, which is closely related to Chinese Mahayana and Japanese Zen in North Korea. Other sects, including the Taego, and the newly formed Won, have also attracted sizable followings.
Pyongyang is on the Taedong River. Population estimates range from 2.7 million in 1993 to 3.8 million in 2002. Split from the South P'yŏngan province in 1946, it is considered a "Directly Governed City" ("Chikhalsi"), but not a "Special City" (Teukbyeolsi) like Seoul in South Korea.
