고려중기 불교교육과정 연구: 의천의 생애를 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to answer some questions: What did buddhist monks think to be the aim of the buddhist education in middle Goryeo Dynasty? What did they taught? and how did they taught it? Those questions are to be answered by analysing Uicheon's life history. The reason is that Uicheon the Master of Great Enlightenment commanded an buddhist society at that time. Uicheon was the Hua-yen monk. But he was tried to reconstruct the buddhist theory into it by including various fields, such as Yogacara, Seon, and T'in-tai. Therefore he suggested the combined practice of self-cultivation and doctrinal study(敎觀並修) as buddhist practice. He thought that buddhism was aimed to see phenomenon just as it is and in order to do it we should study all Buddhist Sutra. Therefore he published all the buddhist books, for example the newly edited total catalogue of entire buddhist sects' commentaries on the Tripitaka(「新編諸宗敎藏叢錄」). But this method to enculturate buddhism involves merits as well as demerits. Its merits are to standardize the contents of buddhism and spread them quickly and widely. But it is lacking of internalizing buddhism.
