Abstract

Wonhyo's Gongburon is thesis about the thought and practice of Wonhyo. The essence of his thought is the One Mind . The One Mind is the ontological ground of two aspects of thing, the absolute and the conditioned. The One Mind includes all approaches to the Buddhist dharma and shows that they are of the "same one taste". But one can not observe One Mind by reason of ignorance. Wonhyo's profound explication of relationship between the original innate enlightenment of the Buddha and the non-enlightenment apparently assumed to be the state of ordinary people, finally finds its appropriate place to be concretely applied in actual practice.Wonhyo's Theory of Harmonization(Reconciliation of the Doctrinal controversy) is that all theories are free from any limitation; any theory is valid and not contradictory to any other. It is appeared through the practice of unhindered .The practice of Wonhyo is composed of the arouse one's mind, the six paramitas and chih-kuan止觀(stop and observe). The practice of chih-kuan of them is important especially. He emphasizes that confession is both essential and the rules in order to over come the hinderance of practice. And he tells that one cannot confess because it has not nature of itself, but one must confesses the emotions arising from six organs of sense. He prefers the aspect of mental than what is formal in the rules.Wonhyo tells that one should not waste time but strive diligently to achieve the Buddhist enlightenment from this very moment.
