김성숙의 정치이념과 민족불교

Abstract

The consideration is a treatise viewing on Kim Seong-Sook's political belief which he took active work at the foremost of anti-Japanese Movement in Chinese region as a member of independentista under the Japanese Empire. I tried to consider his political concept and connection to national buddhism in this paper. So far the outlook of study on Kim Seong-Sook was dominated by progressive line of socialism. I accepted this point of view basically in this consideration. However I reilluminated his political activities for period from returning to Korea after 8.15 Liberation to pasting away in 1969. And I tried to seek for political ideal within reillumination, extracted connection to national buddhism in it. In the purpose the focus on the paper written is as following. Firstly he did continuous independent movement from 3.1 movement to liberation in 1945. Here his national movement and independent movement by itself were intimated with nationalism. Secondly nationalism was strongly intervened on the base of his political activities for twenty years after liberation. Thirdly he was monk's statue while he was doing anti-Japanese movement and political activities and had identity as a buddhist. In such premise I calls national buddhism as the origin of Kim Seong-Sook's anti-Japanese and political activities. I viewed Mahayana Buddhism which is the buddhist ideal and the historical accumulation of the buddhist socialization in being designated as a buddhist does national buddhism with the activities for the nation.
