Description It contains a viewpoint of thoughts on the history of Korean Buddhism. Korean Buddhism, had accepted Chinese Buddhism, made it become naturalized, and reinterpreted Mahayana Buddhism. Korean Buddhism has its characteristic of thoughts as follows: fusion of Seon and doctrine, simplification of features of various sects, and compromise between Buddhism and the folk belief such as the belief of mountain gods. Silla Buddhism goes through the process of naturalization before the Three Kingdoms are unified, and it shows its richness in ideas as the emotional prop of royal family and people in general. Goryeo Buddhism develops while keeping its defensive characteristic of both the country and the Buddhist teachings, though it shows aspects of formalism and ritualism excessively. Joseon Buddhism under Confucianists' suppressions barely keeps oneself in existence with stressing fatalistic feature of Buddhism. In a word, Korean Buddhism values much of Huayen Buddhism and Southern Zen of Chinese Buddhism, and the Avalokiteshvara Belief occupies an important position of its folk beliefs. I can say the future of Korean Buddhism is very hopeful in case of making good progress of such the practical buddhism as increasing interests in Buddhist social roles, reinterpreting Buddhist rituals, and coping with people's spiritual wanderings in present times. |
