신라하대 선불교 도입기 선사들의 교화실천과 교학사상: 도의·체징을 중심으로

Abstract

In Zen’s Instruction method is hidden the fact that there are areas that ‘the teacher’ cannot teach ‘the learner.’ This education method overturns the paradigm of traditional modern education at once. It is because Zen practice is not based on any letter or language ruled by the world of logic. It uses not just Bulipmunja (不立文字), namely, a written instruction but, at the same time, other methods of transmission outside instruction. They are implied by such words as Bulipmunja, Gyooebyeoljeon (敎外別傳), and Yisimjeonsim (以心傳心). These education methods were transmitted by Do‐uei maestro of Zen and his disciple Chejing maestro of Zen during the last period of Silla. They were methods of early Zen Buddhism and handed down as words such as ‘Carving in Mind (心印),’ ‘Carving of Law (法印),’ and ‘Law of Mind (心法).’ These mean instruction not through letter or language but through mind. In other words, they are methods such as Bulipmunja and Gyooebyeoljeon as mentioned above. That is, they are instruction from mind to mind. Do‐uei maestro of Zen and Chejing maestro of Zen in the last period of Silla transmitted this education method beyond the existing barrier of Buddhism of teaching ‐learning (敎學佛敎). The original importer Do‐uei maestro of Zen trained his disciple Chejing for this method in Mt. Seorak, and Chejing maestro of Zen spread it throughout Silla society as a new Buddhist education method.
