대승경전이 선불교에 미친 영향

Abstract

This study explored position of Seon Buddhism about academic studies of Seon Buddhism focusing on Dharma, Hui-neng, Jonggo, and Seongchul – among books related to Seon section, ‘Seonlimseungbojeon.’ And then, with ‘Neungga sutra’, ‘Diamond sutra’, ‘Vimalakīrti Nirdeśa Sūtra’, and ‘Avataṃsaka Sūtra’, the author explored deal between Mahayana sutra and Seon Buddhism. As a result, this study drew that Seon Buddhism is reform thoughts as practical thoughts, Seon Buddhism is not only physical connection about previous academic performance but chemical total – under thoughts system of Mahayana Buddhism, all the academic thoughts accumulated until then cleaned up split situation, adapted each other, and became integrated with new eye of originality based on Seon. Furthermore, the author demonstrated that Mahayana sutra, that is, academic studies is used as means which is helpful for practice in the practical view from position of Seon Buddhism. And in the extension line of such position, Seon masters selectively accepted academic studies of Buddhism and creatively developed it. In the end, the difference is that academic Buddhism put side dot on ‘theory’ while Seon Buddhism put side dot on ‘practice’. However, noteworthy one is that there always exist ‘tension(緊張)’ and ‘reverse(反轉)’ in the quote of Mahayana sutra in Seon Buddhism. And it always passes over documentary and empirical relation of simple quote of sutra in Seon. That is, it would be noteworthy that to conclude based on empirical relation between Mahayana sutra and Seon and then, regard it as catching enlightenment and stay there is a kind of deception, which leads to failure – this also shows a good point of Seon.
