삼학겸수에 입각한 윤월하 수행 정신 - 행장을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the background of the spirituality and the process of Buddhist practice developed by Yun Wolha, a purified monk during the Japanese colonial period. He had developed the practice combined three trainings in morality, meditation, and wisdom, which were based on the study of Chan, doctrine, and Vinaya. While previous studies have examined his activities of Jogye Order and Tongdosa after the Buddhist Purification Movement in 1955, they have not outlined his inner spiritual practice as he sought to be reborn a sincere practitioner, with a complete overhaul of both body and mind through practicing the combined three trainings. Thus, this paper investigates the development of the combined three trainings in morality, meditation, and wisdom during his stays at Yujeomsa, Odaesan Sangwonsa, Hwasankyongweon of Simwonsa, and various Chan Temples between 1933 and 1954, when he was between 19 and 44 years old. This investigation offers several new revelations. First, Yun Wolha made his vow to be a purified Chan monk during his time as a novice at Yujeomsa in Mt. Kumgang. Second, for 20 years, he was received strong influences from Bang Hanam’s spirituality through the unification of Chan and Doctrine Sect Buddhism based on the concurrent development of Samadhi and Prajna at Sangwonsa in Mt. Odae. Third, although he was an outsider, Yun Wolha became the transmission disciple of Kim Guha, a highly powerful monk at Tongdosa, because Kim Guha thought that Yun Wolha was the only monk eligible to lead Tongdosa in becoming the holy place for combined three trainings in morality, meditation, and wisdom in the 1940s.
