왕각일의 왕각일의 삼교합일론에 내함 된 유불도의 핵심사상

Abstract

This paper is a review of Wang Jueyi's theory of unity of the three religions. First, I briefly looked at the life of Wang Jueyi, Yiguandao's Patriarch. Next, I analyzed and reinterpreted the relationships of Confucianism, Buddism, and Taoism based on his books, 『Daxuejie大學解』, 『Zhongyongjie中庸解』, 『Sanyitanyuan三易探源』, 『Yiguantanyuan一貫探源』, and 『Lixingshiyi理性釋疑』. There are two types of analysis and reinterpretation of Yiguandao Wang Jueyi's three religious unity theory. First, I examined the background of Wang Jueyi's growth in the suppression of Chinese civilian religion at the end of the Qing Dynasty. And I examined the history of the investigation and transmission of Yiguandao to see how his theory of unity of the three religions was formed. Second, Wang Jueyi's theory of unity of the three doctrines claims to be a key that the Confucianism has the ‘mind preservation-nature cultivation' (Junxinyangxing存心養性), Buddhism has the ‘clear mind- view nature' (Mingxinjianxing明心見性), and the Taoism has the ‘cultivate mind - training nature' (Xiuxinlianxing修心煉性). In his study, overcomning one's selfish desires and returning to the moral laws of heaven in Confucianism is the basis for training studies in Buddhism and Taoism, and it was a cyclical study theory of clear mind → conscientious mind → bright mind and view nature → cultivate nature → view nature clearly. This study examined how Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are related through Wang Jueyi's thoughts.
