永明延壽와 普照知訥의 唯心淨土와 他方淨土

Abstract

Most of the modern and contemporary high Buddhist priests of our country are the Seon Masters. They have been arguing for the Mind Only Pure Land. And, in addition, they have been accepting the Other World Pure Land. If we try going to the root, such a tendency is shown among the Seon priests in late Goryeo. At the time, in late Goryeo, during the Beisong era, there had been a very close relationship with the Buddhist monk Yeongmyeong Yeonsu (904-975). The Buddhist monk Yeongmyeong Yeonsu had been held in high esteem by the Fayan School and the Pure Land Sect. And, while being a Seon Master, including the writing of the 100 volumes of the Jonggyeongrok and the others of the like, he had accepted and performed the Jeongtoyeombul (the Buddhist Paradise Prayers). It appears that, by continuing such a family tradition of the Buddhist monk Yeongmyeong Yeonsu, in the Jeonghyegyeolsamun, the Buddhist monk Bojo Jinul of our country had been talking about the Mind Only Pure Land and had been accepting the Other World Pure Land. Among the scholars of our country, Professor Shim, Jae-ryong had said that the Buddhist monk Bojo Jinul had not recognized both of the Other World Pure Land and the Mind Only Pure Land. Professor Kwon, Gi-jong had seen that the Other World Pure Land had not been recognized and the Mind Only Pure Land had been accepted. But Professor Kil, Hee-seong had seen that both the Mind Only Pure Land and the Other World Pure Land had been accepted. And, although he had the same position, Professor Shin, Gyoo-tak had seen them as the diachronic nowness. I, the writer, had seen that Bojo Jinul, whose position had been the same as the positions of Professor Kil, Hee-seong and Professor Shin, Gyoo-tak, had seen that both the Mind Only Pure Land and the Other World Pure Land had been accepted. But, when we look at the aspect of capacities, the Mind Only Pure Land was for the persons with high capacity, while the Other World Pure Land was for the persons with low capacity.
