한국불교의 위기와 중흥전략

Abstract

An Indian called Gotham Siddhartha about 2600 years ago, had faced the problem why all living beings born must be aging, sick and dying. Finally he found out the way how to escape from craving, anger and ignorance and he became Buddha. His good-will had an ordinary-being be jumped unto the Super-being. Present korean buddhism sanggas or buddhist communities are stagnant by its own selfishness or self-contentment. Our good-wills, trial of getting out of stagnancy can hopefully make better our Sangga( or buddhist community) which we belong to? In fact, there are two ideal models in traditional Buddhism in korea: The Bodhisattvas the ideal models of Mahayana Buddhism practicing Nirvana upward and serving the suffering downward. Seon Buddhism which teaches Seon meditation to recover original humanity. To become Bodhisattva seemed to be impossible in real and to do Seon meditation is too professional to do. We lost The Right Paths of Buddha's teachings. I offer an easy way to approach Buddhism practice in daily life.
