조계총림선원 안거수행에 관한 고찰 - 2020년 선원 하안거를 중심으로 -

Abstract

It was during the late Joseon Dynasty that the Tri-Gem Temples was established. The Songgwangsa Temple is the second of Tri-Gem Temples to be established. And the name was called Jogye Chongnim. Jogye Chongnim is the base place for Jeonghyegyeolsa, and 16 national teachers were fostered. Mogu practitioner’s custom is followed by three great preceptors of Jigong, Naong, and Muhak in the late Goryeo Dynasty, Taego Bou, Linji school‘s heir, and the heir to the Dharma lineage of Buhyu Seonsu until now. Jogye Chongnim with the Seon Center (禪院; Seonwon), a Monastic College (僧家大學; Seungga Daehak), a Monastic Graduate School of Vinaya Studies (律院; Yurwon) and a “Yeombul” Practice Center (念佛院; Yeomburwon) has been unwavering by its heir at Songgwangsa. Seon meditation practice of Mogu practitioner’s custom from Jinul Puril Bojo Daesa is well preserved at Jogye Chongnim. A Chongnim provides a venue for the integrated practice where the next generation of monks are educated and trained to become leaders of the Korean Buddhist community. I examined the duties of the Seon Center, the procedure for entering meditation retreat, the procedure for making Yongsangbang, monastic life, and releasing meditation retreat in this thesis. I’m looking forward to understanding monastic life and hope it can be helpful for beginners at the Seon Center through this thesis.
