모든 산들의 어머니라고 불리는 지리산 자락에 위치한 천년고찰 "화엄사"는 백제 성왕때 창건된 사찰로 지금도 백여 명의 스님과 재가자들이 수도하는 유서깊은 도량이며,대한불교 조계종 19교구의 본사 이기도 하다.
구례 화엄사는 2009년에 사적 505호로 지정되었으며,그 규모가 아름답고 웅장하여 유서깊은 불교문화의 요람으로 손꼽히며, 지라산 자락에 있는 사찰중에서 가장 규모가 큰 사찰로 "화엄경"의 두 글자를 따서 절 이름을 "화엄사"라 하였다고 한다.
민족의 영산인 지리산은 모든 산들의 어머니 라고 불리는데 '어리석은 자 가 이산에 머물면 지혜로운 이로 밝아진다'고 해서 '지리산'으로 불리워지고 있다고 한다.
