월산의 생애 고찰

Abstract

This review is based on the historical perspective of the life of Monk Wolsan, who led the modern history of Bulguksa Temple and the main character of Jogye Order. Until now, academic approaches and research on Wolsan have been very weak. However, he was recently referred to the results of holding an academic seminar on the theme of his life at the Diagonal Institute of Thought (2019.12). However, the literature and testimony of his life are still lacking. Therefore, this article tried to shed light on his entire life based on the objective evidence that I found. In this introduction, I wanted to distinguish his life into several stages and reveal the characteristics of his life at each time. First, his attendance period (1943∼1954) after entering the country and leaving the country was illuminated. Second, it sheds light on his longitudinal activities (1954∼1974). During this period, the theme of the Buddhist purification movement to overcome the contradictions of colonial Buddhism and the intellect of the General Affairs Commissioner's days were highlighted. Third, it dealt with the activities (1974∼1986), which increased the history and culture of Bulguksa Temple while serving as the main location of Bulguksa Temple. Fourth, it covered his last life(1986∼1997) which led his disciples, believers in Gyeongju, and many people according to his Buddhist thought, the middle thought. We hope that this review, which deals with the above, will be a reference to the life and ideas of Wolsan, Bulguksa Temple in the modern era, and the study of the leaders of the Jogye Order.
