청말 양인산(楊仁山)의 불학사상 고찰

Abstract

Yang WenHui left many views on Thoughts of Buddhist studies, but he did not leave systematic and overall issues. Therefore, in terms of the Thoughts of Buddhist studies, we can only infer his Thoughts of Buddhist studies based on his fragmentary writings. However, even though it was not a systematic essay, in his big and small sentences, we can find the depth of his Thoughts of Buddhist studies and the traces of his efforts to revive and promote Buddhism, and at the same time, we can see why Buddhism thought at the time of catastrophism was trying to realize spiritual values of the times. More importantly, his role was not only suggesting the Buddhist direction of the time, but also through Buddhism thought to the weary people in the complex structure of China's times, he conducted a true Buddhist aspect most satisfactorily as a great thinker who wanted to be a spiritual bright lantern, an educator, and a revolutionary. In the discussion of this study, rather than deeply exploring Yang WenHui's Thoughts of Buddhist studies, based on the papers already published, we will proceed with the writings focusing on two aspects. One will briefly introduce the progress of his Buddhist works, and the other will introduce the gradual development of the Thoughts of Buddhist studies. As a step-by-step development of the Thoughts of Buddhist studies, we first examine the contents of "Gishinron", and next examine other Thoughts of Buddhist studies. Lastly, we attempt to proceed with the discussion on the spiritual value of the present age through the Pure Land regression thought and the Thoughts of Buddhist studies.
