만당(晩唐) 선시(禪詩)의 경향성 고찰

Abstract

The Zen poetry begins with the monks expressing their Buddhist enlightenment and the enlightenment of the Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist doctrine through the poetry since the introduction of Buddhism. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the poetry and the Zen gradually fuse because of the development of the poetry and the excitement of Buddhism. So the Zen poetry also develops. The Zen poetry of the Late Tang Dynasty can be divided into two types. One is the Zen poetry that the Buddhist color is enriched and the enlightenment of the adoration of the Zen sect is acquired. The other is Zen poetry that embodies the enlightenment of the poetry without revealing the Buddhist elements. First of all, the poets of the Late Tang Dynasty created a rich poetry of Buddhism. However, they did not accept Buddhism as a religion, but accepted it as a social culture. Their Zen poetry was not deep in Buddhist depth. Second, the Zen poetry that embodies the enlightenment of the poetry without revealing the Buddhist elements is an expression that emphasizes the merit of the Zen sect but does not emphasize the terms of the Zen sect. These Zen poetries are creating a boundary that is fresh and refined and leisurely. It can be said that it is a high-quality poetry that expresses the poetic world well. Thirdly, although they created a rich and clear boundlessness of Buddhist color, but they express their psychic distress and lonely and depressed feelings on the inside of their Zen poetries. In other words, the fact that they came close to Buddhism was actually a tendency to deviate from their psychological suffering through Buddhism rather than pure interest and devotion.
