Abstract

During the late Joseon Dynasty Buddhist zen practice is accompaniedby studies of The Gaṇḍavyūha-sūtra(『華嚴經』). This tradition of combining practice and study can be also found in the activities of “Seokjeon(石顚)” Park Han-young(朴漢永; 1870-1948) in the 20th century. In this essay, I investigated “documents for lectures” in two different types that wereedited and published by Park Han-young – a collection of “topics” relatedto The Gaṇḍavyūha-sūtra(『華嚴經』) and a compilation selected from Seonmunyeomsongjip and Yeomsongseolhwa. Seonmunyeomsongjip(『禪門拈頌集』) was edited by Jingak Hyeshim(眞覺慧諶; 1178-1234) during the late Goryeo Dynasty. His disciple Gakwoon(覺雲) added an notations to the book and published it as Yeomsongseolhwa(『拈頌說話』). In the late Joseon Dynasty Baekpa Geungseon(白坡亘璇1767-1852) wrote a commentary based on exegetical studies comparingthese two books. This kind of commentary is traditionally called PersonalExplication(私記). These Personal Explications enable us to glimpse howscholarly monks of those days studied zen literature. In the 17th century, Hwaeomgyeongsusoyeonuicho(華嚴經隨疏演義鈔) (Commentary on Eliciting the True Meaning of The Gaṇḍavyūha-sūtra)was engraved in the Jeolla-do region, and scholarly monks who studiedThe Gaṇḍavyūha-sūtra published a collection of “topics” related to this book. In addition, Personal Explications of exegetical commentaries basedon this book were written. These studies were mainly led by Seolpa Sangeon (雪坡尙彦; 1707-1791) and scholarly monks in the Jolla-do region who were influenced by him. In this tradition, monks of those days gave lectures combining zenpractice and studies, which in turn influenced the philosophical thinkingof Joseon period. As the result, scholarly monks inheriting this traditionpublished various books supporting the convergence of zen practice andstudy in literature. This tradition continued to the period of the JapaneseOccupation culminating in Park Han-young’s studies.
