Wikipedia's article on Korean Buddhism, community-edited. Reliable for the standard, well established dates of Buddhism's introduction to the Three Kingdoms, 372 CE to Goguryeo under the Former Qin monk Sundo, 384 CE to Baekje, and 527 to 535 CE to Silla, and for the kingdoms' own geographic extent, Goguryeo's core lying in the northern peninsula and Manchuria rather than within the modern division of Korea; not the right source for a contested doctrinal or sectarian claim.
