『禪門五宗綱要私記』의 구성과 大機大用의 특징

Abstract

SEONMUNOJONGGANGYO-SAGI(禪門五宗綱要私記) was written by Backpa-Geungseon(1767~1852) in late Joseon-dynasty. This SEONMUNO JONGGANGYO-SAGI is interpreter of the SEONMUNOJONGGANGYO(禪門五宗綱要 : the five schools essentials of seon) by Hwangsung-Jian (1664~ 1729) in late Joseon-dynasty. The SEONMUNOJONGGANGYO-SAGI was based on SEONMUNO JONGGANGYO. SEONMUNOJONGGANGYO was based on SEONMUN GANGYOJIP(禪門綱要集 : collection of seon's essentials) in middle Korea- dynasty. SEONMUNGANGYOJIP was based on RENTIANYANMU (人天眼目 : the prospects on humans and heavens) in Song-dynasty of China. Backpa-Geungseon divided two types of the five schools essentials of seon-sects, so called, the great capacity ＆ great function(大機大用). And Backpa-Geungseon divided two type of seon thoughts, so called, the Patriarch-seon(祖師禪), the Tathagata-seon(如來禪) and the Theoretical-seon(義理禪). Backpa-Geungseon asserted his view that the five schools essentials are affiliated to the thoughts of Linji-sect(臨濟宗). In this interpreter of the five schools essentials of seon-sects, Backpa-Geungseon showed that the only LINJI-sect is an orthodox school among the five schools essentials of seon-sects. But I think that it’s dangerous to have an arbitrary viewpoint of that.
