용성과 한암의 행적에 나타난 정체성

Abstract

This dissertation is the paper to compare and analyze between Yongseong and Hanam who were prominent as high priests in the recent times. So far, the studies on high priests, great buddhist monks in the recent times have been done by Buddhist clans. As the result, there were lots of problems, excessive affinity, overpraise, biased understanding and conclusion etc. So, it is important to throughly acknowledge the problems for academic, objective evaluation on high priests in the recent times. After then, to find out its improvement measures will be the next. This dissertation was written with, such like premises and woes. I expect that same, different or individual characteristics would be shown, if comparing and analyzing high priests. I think that, when I come close to high priests with duplex, multiphasic point of views, a new research prospect will be shown. And I suggest to interpret the study on high priest with historical context and point of view at that time taking away the interpretations of superiority, monopoly, and exaggeration. In this point, I divided Yongseong and Hanam into practice, education, buddhist business, social activity, religious order activity, and idea succession etc. As the result, Yongseong and Hanam had similar practices and thoughts under the premise they set Buddhism as the standard to recognize life and the world. But in the social activity for people and nation, Yongseong went on aggressive performance, but Hanam preferred seclusive walking. Such a difference came from the source of two high priests' disparate images. That is, they considered Buddhism as truth, but when it comes to realization of truth, Yongseong was with social activities, Hanam was with seclusive practice to realize their identities.
