오성월의 삶에 투영된 禪과 民族意識

Abstract

This consideration is writing illuminating Seon and National Consciousness Reflecting on his Life as illuminating a buddhist monk Oh Sung-wol's Life not passing over at history of Bumeo-sa and Seonhakwon in modern age. There is no academic approach so far about him although Oh Sung-wol occupied his important activity and statues in the history of Bumeo-sa and Seonhakwon. Therefore I tried to rehabilitate his life on the basis of the literature materials. Oh Sung-wol was leading role letting Bumeo-sa got monastery class as Seonchaldaebonsan(main meditative monastery) and its identity in opening a couple of Seon houses(meditation retreat houses)in Bumeo-sa zone in nineteen tens. And he established Bumeo-sa Gumganggyedan(Diamond Ordination Altar). Further more he was involved in Imje Order movement and took part in foundation of Seonwoo(meditation friend)society which was organic body for Seonhakwon and Sujwa(head sitting, meditation monk) as an initiator in nineteen twenties. In his such activity was connected to director, chief director of Joseon(Korea) Seon theory concentration foundation since 1935. And he served chief director of religious administration of Seon order of the Joseon(Korean) Buddhism. Such as Seon monk his activity became the basis of his life. Besides he was a pioneer having both national consciousness. As he reflect national consciousness on Bumeo-sa Seon house, such points for example 3.1 Movement support, military funds delivery for the Sanghai interim government and became main dominant to make signature on the Declaration of Independent by monks. In this consideration I reviewed the matter about his view on Seon and national movement in priority, but later on the necessity of scrutinizing the ordination altar where he established in Bumeo-sa and the matters what have not been illuminated greatly is brought up more.
