Abstract

The study is a treatise to examine the society of the Shilla’s latter period and the Buddhist circles in order to understand in that the national master Doeui’s Seon thought. We should have a detailed grasp of the Buddhist circles’s tendency in order to know the national master Doeui’s Seon thought and the character of the Southern school of the Chan that the national master Doeui brought before his return to Shilla kingdom from China. In this point of view, this manuscript is to be illuminated the Society of the Shilla’s latter period and the Buddhist circles’s tendency. This is to recognize that human being and history is mutually inseparable existence. Such character is from the view what religion and thought are same point. Accordingly this writer illuminated socio-political situation, the Buddhist circles’s tendency of the Shilla’s latter period and transmission of the Northern school of the Chan. However in this manuscript I commented on the point of paying no attention to the Northern school of the Chan in emphasize excessively the Southern school of the Chan and observed the reality of Ahnhong who is the previous figure of Shinhaeng who transmitted the Northern school of the Chan. Namely, it is a new understanding of the Langkavatara Sutra which Ahnhong spread and the way of Seon practice centering around the Langkavatara Sutra. This meant that Seon practice is autogenous within the Shilla society. About this public discussion is required in the academic world.
