백운경한(白雲景閑)의 선사상

Abstract

The founder of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism is Doeuiguksa(道義 國師). This affirms that the root of the Jogye Order is based on the Seon performance. As is well-known, Doeuiguksa(道義國師) had come into our country with the southern sect seon(南宗禪) as the very first time from Seodang Jijang(西堂地藏) (735-814) of the party. This is the inflow of the Seon thought that had been achieved by the josa seon regarding which the teacher guides the student to the realization right away. But, the Seon that intends to realize the truth by using a topic had become the very first in our country because of Bojojinul(普照知訥) (1158-1210). Bojojinul(普照知訥) had realized himself and said that the wonsa(遠師) is Yukjohyeneung(六祖慧能) (638-714). And the Zen that intends to realize the truth by using a topic had settled down because of his disciple Jingakhyesim(眞覺慧諶)(1178-1234). Regarding Taegobowu(太古普雨)(1301-1382), Naonghyegeun(懶翁惠勤) (1320- 1376), and Baekwungyeonghan(白雲景閑) (1298-1374), who are known to be the samsas(三師) at the end of Goryeo, all of them went to China at the time, received the approvals, returned to Goryeo, and had widely spread the Zen that intends to realize the truth by using a topic. It is a fact that, by entering the Yuan Dynasty that is called “Samsa(三師)” at the end of the Goryeo Dynasty, they directly received the permissions from Seokokcheonggong(石屋淸珙) (1270-1352), Pyeongsancheorim(平山處林) (1278-1361), etc., who had been continuing the Buddhist doctrine of the Linji school that advocates the Zen that intends to realize the truth by using a topic. This writing had intended to take a look at why Baekwungyeonghan, who had obtained the realization through the Seen that intends to realize the truth by using a topic among these, had professed the thoughtless Seon. Regarding the contents that had been taken a look into in ‘Jikjisimcheyojeol(直旨心 體要節)’ and ‘Baekwunhwasangeorok(白雲和尙語錄)’, which are his books, most of the researchers until now have been mentioning the writing ‘If the mind is forgotten, the boundaries become quiet and calm automatically, and, if the boundaries become quiet and calm, the mind becomes at ease automatically, this is called “the true, main point and important meaning of indifference”’ in ‘Musimga(無心歌)’ as the grounds. Of course, other than this, they had been presenting a lot of the grounds. If so, it is whether there are no aspects called “the Seon that intends to realize the truth by using a topic” and “the Seon thought that had been achieved by the josa.” As a result of taking a look at Baekwunhwasangeorok(白 雲和尙語錄), by advancing sufficiently, it had been able to confirm that, overall, as a person with the seon thought that intends to realize the truth by using a topic, there had been a basis. I see that this thesis has a meaning in such a context. And, until now, the researches had taken place regarding the aspect of the thoughtless Seon of Baekwungyeonghan until now. It looks like, in the future, the researches must take place more from the positions of the Seon thought that had been achieved by the josa and the Seon that intends to realize the truth by using a topic, too.
