허운(虛雲)선사 간화선의 사상적 계승과 변용

Abstract

We can say that the most important part of Seon master Heoun(虛雲)’s Seon thought is Ganhwaseon(看話禪). Comparing the founder of Ganhwaseon, Daehae-Jonggo(大慧宗杲) with the follower, Gobong-Wonmyo(高峰原妙) in this paper, the writer considered Seon master Heoun(虛雲)’s Seon thought and the historical succession and transformation of Ganhwaseon thought at the same time. Mostly we can see the succession and transformation of Ganhwaseon thought on the three aspects, a conversation topic(話頭), a doubt on the topic(疑情) and a training method(行法). Continuously, Ganhwaseon is the main training method of Seon sect from the beginning of its appearance until now during the process of development. However the contents of Ganhwaseon brought new development and transformation as the era has advanced, and we can examine those changes from the followers of Ganhwaseon. Comparing with the thoughts of the previous Seon masters, Seon master Heoun(虛雲)’s Ganhwaseon thought has a distinctive character. This has relation with his qualification, environment of his period, and the tendency of scholars in those days. This study considers the way how contemporary men seek proper training methods for themselves through these problems and wants to offer the various probability to succeed the great traditions and develop them ceaselessly at the same time.
