일타의 지성적 노선과 조계종단의 좌표

Abstract

This paper is to examine the correlation between the intelligence of the reverend Dong’gok Ilta 東谷 日陀 (1929-1999), who was from the Tongdo monastery and left noteworthy conducts, and the Jogye order. The reason why I studied for it was that his conducts and intelligence had important meanings in the modern Korean Buddhist history, especially in the history of the Jogye order. So, I wanted to look into the correspondence between the reverend Ilta’s intelligence and the guideline of the Jogye order. In this point of view, I mainly focused on the issues, Sangha’s education, emphasis of precepts and propagation of Vinaya pitaka, and renovation of the altar among the reverend Ilta’s conducts. Firstly, I explored his intellectual steps for Sangha education that he suggested detailed alternatives under the ideology of ‘Buddha first 佛陀主義’ from the middle of 1960’s and the early 1970’s. Secondly, the reverend Ilta wrote various essays related to precepts, the education of precepts, and the propagation of Vinaya pitaka after receiving the title of the precept master 律師. Finding the related proof on it, I tried to examine what he wanted to say. Thirdly, the reverend Ilta’s activity for precepts came to renovation of the alta system. It was derived from the intentions to cultivate monks of talent in concord with the Buddha’s law 如法化 and to restore Buddhism by reenacting traditional rituals based on Vinaya pitaka. I look forward to having this research as a reference for the intensified study on the reverend Ilta, Sangha education and the field related to precepts, and the recognition of the altar system in the modern Korean Buddhist history. Moreover, I also wish to have it helpful for understanding on the Vinaya center of the Hae’in monastery, the Jogye order’s three projects (propagation, cultivation of talented monks, translation), and the case studies of precept masters through the reverend Ilta’s conducts and his intelligence.
