황벽의 무심(無心) 사상 고찰 - 『전심법요』와 『완릉록』을 중심으로 -

Abstract

The agenda of this paper is absentheartedness of Hwangbyeok, the Zen master of the Tang Dynasty. The period when Hwangbyeok Hee-woon was active was from the mid to late Tang Dynasty. The Josa Zen began and developed into 7 branches of 5 houses, and Hwangbyeok was active around the time when a branch was about to begin. The quotes of Hwangbyeok, “Jeonsimbeopyo” and “Wanneungrok,” played critical role in forming the system of the Josa Zen. The Chinese Zen is the development of the idea of the “heart (心).” Each Zen master expresses his or her mind in a variety of ways, and Hwangbyeok's absentheartedness can be seen as an upgraded heart from the previous Zen masters. Hwangbyeok's absentheartedness is based on Dono ideology, and it is Dono Musim (頓悟無心) that does not require any means. Hwangbyeok claimed that this state of indifferent state was Buddha [心是佛]. This Hwangbyeok's absentheartedness was criticized by the Jong-mil of Ha Taek Jong, a Buddhist monk of the same time as the Zen master. While Jongmil considered only Jinsung (眞性) based on the Dono ideology as “ji (知),” Hwangbyeok called the action of Gyeonmungakji (見聞覺知) of the people as Buddha, not metaphysical reasoning. It can be seen that the Zen Hwangbyeok emphasized the indifference which does not remain in the act of the Gyeonmungakji, while remaining to be Gyeonmungakji. The history of Zen is not a metaphysical body theory, but the Hwangbyeok Zen, which is the expression of Buddhist ideology as it is, flows in the Zen history (禪思想史).
