佛家 漢詩에 내재된 그리움과 번민

Abstract

What kinds of relation exist between becoming a priest and undergoing discipline and writing? From a commonsense point of view, writing and undergoing discipline seem too far from each other if not the expression on the pure world beyond attachment and agony. However, the trainees have tried to write something literary from the old tmes until now. Such writings impressed the vulgar in many cases. Such writing is from the immaturity of discipline or can be achieved only after the perfection of discipline? There may be no consistent answer for it. This study examined several problems from the Chinese poem of Zen priests during the Goryeo Dynasty and the Joseon Dynasty. They expressed deep longing and agony although they were undergoing discipline without hiding those emotions. Those phenomenon were not contrary to the high state of self-discipline that they achieved. Longing and sorrow are also included in the discipline and a part of life as well as the existence at that moment. Agony and anguish ceaselessly attack the trainees and are not the defects in the life of trainees. We need to understand the life of trainees and so their poem including such longing, anxiety, agony and anguish. Only through such a process, the trainees can entirely expose themselves and smoothly communicate with the common people. What is the most necessary between inside a temple and out of a temple and between the trainees and the vulgar are communication, conversation, understanding and sympathy. It is language and literature that should exist there.
