석전과 한암의 문제의식

Abstract

This dissertation is the writing to look into Sŏkjŏn Park, Hanyŏngand Bang, Hanam who are renowned for prelates of modern buddhismfrom a competitive point of view. So far, there have been implemented researches on Sŏkjŏn andHanam from the points of individual, family views. As a result of thoseresearches, their lifetimes, thoughts, characteristics were fully given a lighton though, historical context, and characteristics that they had werecarelessly dealt with. So, in this writing, I'd like to compare with characteristics from acomparative point of view between them looking mainly into the paststhat they did for practice. I searched concrete contents of their pastsdividing into practice, educational activity, writing activity, religiousactivity and racial movement. In terms of practice, Sŏkjŏn practiced in the part of studying sutra,Hanam practiced in the part of studying Seon. This made a differencebetween their identifications. In educational activity, Sŏkjŏn was focusingon the humanistic education in the educational institute of Ganghak andNew&Old simultaneous studies, but Hanam was focusing on Seon mainlyconcentrating on Sangha education succeeded to tradition. In writingactivity, Sŏkjŏn was contributing to education, propagation, and thehumanities, but Hanam was writing to emphasize Seon practice,Simultaneous practice of Seon and Doctrine, Precepts⋅Contemplation⋅Prajna the three supreme principles. That is, Sŏkjŏn was focusing onguiding future scholars and training talented indivisuals, but Hanam wasconcentrating on Seon practitioner and awareness of Sangha. In religious order and racial activity, Sŏkjŏn was working in the way of religiousorder, but Hanam was doing staying in a temple of mountain. But theywalked together with same steps, in terms of development of Buddhism,protecting religious order. Such like this, Sŏkjŏn was having a step on improvement in themiddle of way, but Hanam was having a step on conservativeness oftraditional adherence. However, they kept not only their identities, butalso tried to have intelligent steps corresponding right to the reality.
