탄허의 周易觀과 佛敎觀 : 주역선해 譯注를 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to research I Ching viewpoint and Buddhism viewpoint of Tanheo Taekseong(呑虛宅城, 1913~1983), who was a representative learned priest and great priest of Korea in the last century. He understood Buddhist external scriptures, linked the genealogy of as an three exellent master(三絶) of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism and greatly enlarged the extension of Buddhism. In addition, Tanheo enlarged the extension of Confucianism and Taoism to open up new vistas for the researcher of this field. Tanheo, who was a religious man and philosopher observed the future of Korean Peninsula and the change of 3 Southeast Asian countries, USA and surrounding countries in detail and provided vision. Therefore, his foresight about the future provided Korean people who has to experience Japanese colonial period, liberation, 6.25, cease fire, 4.19, restoration, democratization and industrialization with hope and light. Initially, hovering between Confucianism and Taoism initially, Tanheo read 『I Ching』 over 500 times and 『Jangjanamhwagyeong』 consisting of about 0.1 million characters over 500 times but he felt insufficiency. After all, he became the Buddhism monk while studying under Hanam Jungwon(漢巖重遠), who was a Out of world Master(方外道人) in Odaesan(Mt.). He researched Buddhist scriptures and external scriptures while training himself. Tanheo's comment on 『Juyeokseonhae』 greatly relied on Jeongja(程子)’s 『Icheonyeokjeon』 and Juja(朱子)’s 『Juyeokbonui』 unlike enter to Confucianism with Seon[以禪入儒] of Yeongbong Jiuk, who relies on Somisan(蘇眉山, 東坡) and Tiantai Doctrine. During this period, he focused on enter to Seon with Confucianism[以儒入禪] ' to guide Confucianist to Seon and let them know it. Tanheo lectured in Bangsangul of Woljeongsa and Ilsogul of Yeongeunsa for a long time and he was stimulated by good deed of Yeongbong Jiuk. However, his effort was not identical to the orientation of Jiuk. On the contrary, Tanheo added comment to 『Juyeokseonhae』 on the basis of lesson of Confucianism. Of course, it was regrettable that his books are not real books for non-Buddhist scriptures. However, the books are meaningful because in the books, Tanheo succeeded Uisang's Seonggigwan, Lee Tonghyeon's Sujeunggwan, Jinul's Seonggigwan, Gyeongheo's Jeonghyegwan and Hanam's Ilbalseonpung to Hwaeom trend, one absolute way for progress. Tanheo has interpreted and lectured many records from Buddhist scriptures(內典) to non-Buddhist scriptures(外典) from his young age because he recognized that the publication of education material is essential for nurturing competent person. Tanheo's comment, 'for the future of Korean Buddhism, it is more important to teach people than build 100 temples.' has been the unchangeable assignment for Korean Buddhism. Hyuntogugyeol(懸吐口訣) translation(譯解) of Buddhist scriptures and the comment on 『Juyeokseonhae』 that he published for his life has been the basic data for the study of Korean Buddhism and Korean thought. When considering this point, Tanheo is the person who should be evaluated newly in this age.
