Abstract

This paper studies the acceptance of Tiantai Buddhism during the late Choson Dynasty in three ways. The first is a study on the acceptance of Tiantai’s method of calm and concentration in Heo Jun (許浚, 1539~1615)’s historic medical book “Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑).” The second is a study on the acceptance and significance of the appearance of “An Explanation of the Gateway to Seon Paramita,” one of Tiantai’s three modes of entering Seon, in mainstream academia of Patriarchal meditation, as seen through Wolchang Kim Dae-hyeon(⾦ ⼤鉉)'s “Seon-Hak-Ip-Moon(禪學⼊⾨).” The third looks at what Tiantai thought was accepted in the modern history of Buddhism through the study of the various aspects in which Tiantai Buddhism appeared in the modern Buddhist reform movement. First, in “Donguibogam,” which contains medical thoughts from Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, the Naegyeongpyeon chapter includes material on the causes and cures of illness from the Tiantai writing of “The Great Calming and Contemplation.” In addition, Naegyeongpyeon’s Taesikbeop (胎息法, a breathing method) directly incorporates Tiantai’s “treatment of cessation.” “Seon-Hak-Ip-Moon” was published to simplify the difficult and complicated “An Explanation of the Gateway to Seon Paramita,” a Tiantai writing on meditation, making it easier for people to practice Seon. The acceptance of such Tiantai methods of Seon helped overcome the difficulties of patriarchal meditation at the time and allowed the public to practice Seon Paramita. Finally, in the Temple Act as promulgated by the Japanese GovernmentGeneral of Korea, which triggered the modern Buddhist reform movements, the first out of the 36 articles accepted The eight teachings of the thoughts of Gyosang Panseok thoughts, which are core tenets of Tiantai’s gateway of doctrine. Contemporary Buddhist magazines also featured frequent appearances of the thoughts of Tiantai. Hence, we can see that Tiantai Buddhism was accepted during the modern reform movements. These results show how two aspects of Tiantai Buddhism, the gateways of doctrine and practice, were accepted in the Buddhist world of the late Choson Dynasty in various ways.
