A Study on the characteristics of Korean Buddhism in Samgukyusa
- Focusing on the All-embracing Buddhism of Wonhyo –
The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of Korean Buddhism philosophy related to Samgukyusa. THE Subtitle is ‘Focusing on the All-embracing Buddhism of Wonhyo’. In Samgukyusa, there are many REPRESENTATIVE characteristics of Korean Buddhism. Particularly, we can find 10 NARRATIVES about Wonhyo. The 10 NARRATIVES show why Wonhyo unified the 13 sects of Chinese Buddhism into one, in Silla.
We can FIND traces of Wonhyo’s deep thoughts in Korean Buddhism. For example, He has A wide knowledge about ‘Avatamsaka Sutra(Hwaum-Kyoung), Diamond Stura(Kumkang-Kyoung), Sandhinirmocana Sutra(Haesimmil-Kyoung), Mahayana Shaddhotpada Sastra(Daeseungkisinron) and so on.
He never WAS satisfied [content] with his present position that is just only his enlightenment. But he has put the theory into practice. As a result, he taught and share ’everything depends on the mind(Ilcheyusimjo)’, ‘No hindrance practice(Muaeng) in public people.
Therefore he was free from the gap between reality and the academic thought of Buddhism.
In conclusion, the aristocratic Buddhism of Silla WAS rooted in the public people. They say the All-embracing Buddhism of Wonhyo. I want to investigate how he pursued his BuddhiST philosophy and THE number of public edification’s and how this fulfilled the characteristics of Korean Buddhism through <Samgukyusa>.
NOTES:
CAPITALS = CORRECTIONS
“He never WAS satisfied [content] with his present position that is just only his enlightenment.”
“public people” 한국어로 둘다 문장이 설명 해주시래요. 무슨 내용 인지 모르겠어요.
“PUBLIC PEOPLE” = did you mean = “The Public” = people who Wonhyo was aiming his teachings at?
Other than that, everything is fine! Great work.
