한암의 계율인식 고찰

Abstract

This Paper deals with Venerable Hanam's adherence to discipline, as based on the books ‘Original Hamam’s Ilballok’ and ‘Missing teacher Hanam monk’ in relation to Pāli's and Dharmagupta's Vinaya. For this, the paper is divided into two main parts, namely the paradigm of the recognition on the Discipline and the basic characteristics of the Discipline. The paper briefly deals with four necessities for monks(clothing, food, dwelling places, drug), heavy or light sins, and his rules on the temple. A venerable monk Hanam is dressed in a monk's normal garments without decoration and expensive clothes. Begging for alms, as Buddha’s time, he ate soup at breakfast, simple food at lunch and did not eat any food in the afternoon. He lived 27 years in the Sangweon Temple where he practiced Buddha's teaching. He stayed there during Korean War, protected in the temple despite the dangers of war. In that time he refrained from using honey or Jingseng for treatment of illness. He was celibate, did not steal, kill living beings, or deceive others by his enlightenment to obtain benefits and goods. He made every effort to protect from dividing Saṃgha. Doubtless, he was a good leader and keeper of Buddha's and temple's rules in such areas in which the rules are less clear, namely bathing, drinking alcohol and in the rules of a monk's basic activities. His recognised on the rules based on Buddha's teaching and discipline, and he adhered to Samgha’s Vinaya rules and Temple’s rules. He thought that disciplines taught by the buddha are necessary to develop Buddhist practice, purify his mind and attain Enlightenment. This Paper of Hanam’s Discipline illustrates that he was a model leader like Buddha for practitioners at that time. His monastic living according to Buddhist rules came from his good and true mind, practice, thinking of Samgha in harmony, compassion for living beings and Samgha's identity and the authority of Community. His disciplines and living according to buddha's rule came to set the tone for modern Korean monks' way living and buddhist rules.
