蓮潭有一의 선사상 - 연담의 『法集別行錄節要科目幷入私記』를 중심으로-

Abstract

Buddhism in the Chosun dynasty was recessed by policy of Soongwyuukbul(respect on confucianism, and oppression on buddhism), but after the arrangement of a course of study(履歷課程), the content of buddhism was taught and was widely published in the Kanghak(講學: study on Buddhism Learning) and Sagi(私記: Buddhism Literature Commentary Book) edition for the understanding. Among many monks who published the historical writings in the late of the Chosun dynasty, Yeondam Yuil could be the most representative figure for editing of Kanghak(講學) and Sagi(私記). His historical writings was standardized about the seon studies and doctrinal studies in the teaching institute(講院). This study was considered his Seon thought focused on 『Bupjipbyulhangrok-jeulyo-gwamok-byungip-sagi(法集別行錄節要科目幷入私記)』among Yeondam’s many historical writings. The Seon thought displayed in Yeondam’s 『Bupjipbyulhangrok-jeulyo-gwamok-byungip-sagi(法集別行錄節要科目幷入私記)』seemed to be succeeded Seonkyogyumsu(禪敎兼修: cultivate oneself in religious seon studies and doctrinal studies) of Ginul and Seosan. Especially, the missionary view of Seosan’s Sakyoipseon(捨敎入禪: dissert the doctrinal studies, and return to seon) was clearly displayed in the works of Yeondam. However, even the works of Yeondam was succeeded Ginul’s thought, there was the different point of argument. He said that here were two things whether cultivation is at first or enlightenment was at first, and emphasized on the practical enlightenment. These Yeondam’s Seon thought deepened the understanding of seon studies and doctrinal studies, and restored the depressed Buddhism in the Chosun dynasty, and composed of a great stream of Buddhism circle.
