정중 무상 인성염불의 증입원리 고찰

Abstract

Jungjoong Musang is the great Chan master of Early Chan Order in China who had promulgated Chan character of JUNGJOONGJONG(淨衆宗) around Chungdu, the capital city of TANG(唐) period in China. He was also one of the heirs of early Chan order, GUMNAMPA(劍南派) which has been followed by Hongin(弘忍)-Jisun(智詵)-Chujuck(處寂), receiving huge faith of people by Dootahang(頭陀行), the Buddhist's heritage patience practice, supernaturalness, and INSUNGYEOMBOOL(引聲念佛), the Buddha remind practice as chanting melisma style. ‘SAMGOOBUPMOON(三句法門)’ the three word of his main philosophy, was introduced in 『Yeokdebubbogi』, known as the tenacious work of party belonged Bodang Moojoo who remarked that he was the heir of Jungjoong Moosang, but it was distorted by Bodang Moojoo himself. Among three words preception of Jungjoong Moosang, Makmang has been Known as it means not getting wrong ideas(莫妄) but they noticed academia that it means not forgetting(莫忘). As the three words of Jungjoongmoosang are based on the chanting practice of INSUNGYEOMBUL, it would be quite valid that Makmang(莫忘) means not forgetting Buddha’s shape or Buddha’s wisdom. Therefore, it would be advisable that the last word among three words instruction of Jungjoong Musang is Makmang, which means not looking back the past, not imagine of the future but just do not forgetting the wisdom like kyubong Jongmil’s interpretation. There is a great possibility that the practicing method of Jungjoong Moosang is ‘reminding Buddha as calling Buddha’s name(稱名念佛)’ or ‘reminding Buddha as chanting Melisma style(引聲念佛)’ as it is written in 「Musang’s poet of Five night time(無相五更頌)」, 『Great expression of Sutra for perfect enlightenment(圓覺經大疎鈔)』. Therefore the focus of Jungjoong Moosang’s Chan method is not ‘MOONYEOM(nothing idea;無念)’ from Yookjo Hyenung which Bodang Moojoo ever traced but it is on ‘YUMBOOL ILRIOM(念佛一念;only idea for Buddha) by heritage of ‘YEOMBOOLSEON(念佛禪)’ which released through ‘DONGSANYEOMBOOLMOON CHANORDER(東山念佛門禪宗)’ and GUMNAMPA.
