각범혜홍의 천복승고 비판 재검토 - 『천복승고선사어록 』과『선림승보전』의 비교를 중심으로 -

Abstract

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Master Jianfu Chenggu薦福承古 criticized that the Yuanmen雲門 school’s masters were obsessed with words and phrases, contrary to the fundamental teaching of Yuanmen to which he was a direct successor. A widespread perception at that time was that ultimate enlightenment could be achieved by way of enlightenment through language. Jianfu Chenggu insisted that while realization through crucial phrase活句 has the advantage of solving problems related to Buddhist truth at the linguistic level, it is not the ultimate stage but still a state of language manipulation. From this point of view, a unique perspective on Three Misteries and Three Essentials三玄三要 emerged, which explains the practicing crucial phrase in an incomplete stage and recognizes the mindlessness無心 as the best realization. However, this problem has not been understood through the Jianfu Chenggu chanshi yulu薦福承古禪師語錄 until now but has been understood in a refracted form through Juefan Huihong覺範惠洪's Chanlin sengbao zhuan禪林僧寶傳, which belongs to the critical camp. Reviewing the three issues raised by Huihong through the Jianfu Chenggu Chanshi Yulu opens up a new possibility to understand the problematics of Zen Buddhism during the transition period from northern Song to southern Song and from Huanglong黃龍 to Yangqi sect楊岐 of Linji臨濟 school more correctly.
