The Korean Buddhism during the unified Silla era, was dominated by Huayen doctrine, which was developed by Uisang(義相) (625-702) and his disciples. During 8th century, many Korean monks visited China to study Chan Buddhism(禪). After they came back to Silla, they started to criticize Huayen philosophy as a doctrinal Buddhism (Jiao教). Their criticism depended on Chinese Chan Buddhist teachings. Korean Chan monk Sunji(順之), a 9th century, was different from other Chan monks in Silla who were trained in China. His teachings are found in the volume20 of "Zutangji"(祖堂集). Although it is based on Chan thought, it has many doctrinal explanations and interpretations. The conventional studies could not clearify the basis of his philosophy. As my research revealed, his teachings were based on the Huayen doctrine of Chinese Huayen monk Li Tongxuan(李通玄) who lived in 7th 8th century. One of his doctorine is "San shen yuan jung kwan"(三聖円融観). It means the unify of three Holies(三聖) Vairocana Buddha(毘盧遮那仏), Manjusri Bodhisattva(文殊菩薩), and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva(普賢菩薩). Monk Junshi used this theory in his teachings. As mentioned above, "Sunji Hwasan's teachings" included by the "Zutangji"(祖堂集) volume 20 is important as what offers a new viewpoint when exploring the relationship between the Chan and jiao in Silla in the 9th century.

본 연구는 대승 경전에 나타난 식물의 수록 양상과 그 의미를 밝히는 연구의 세 번째 과정이다. 법화경은 천태종(天台宗)의 소의 경전(所依慶典)으로 우리나라에서 유통된 경전 가운데 최다 간행된 경전이며 화엄경과 함께 한국 교학의 중심이 된 경전이다. 연구 대상은 현존하는 법화경의 판본 가운데 구마라집(鳩摩羅什) 역 묘법연화경(妙法蓮華經, 이하 법화경, 7권으로 구성)에 수록된 식물이다. 본 연구에서는 식물 분류학적 실체는 물론 이 경의 중심 논지와 연관성이 큰 천화(天華, 하늘의 꽃)의 실체를 별도로 구명하여 식물수록의 특성과 차별성을 동시에 구명하고자 하였다. 1. 법화경에 나타난 식물의 수록 횟수와 식물의 종 수는 다음과 같았다. 법화경에는 총 27종의 식물이 수록되어 있었으며 이 가운데 목본은 16종(59.3%)이고 초본은 11종(40.7%)이었다. 식물수록 양상에 있어 특이점은 목본이 초본에 비해 상대적으로 높은 비중을 차지하고 있었다는 점이었다. 이러한 결과는 중심사상의 전달방식에 있어 비교 대상이 되는 다른 대승 경전과 차이가 있다는 점과도 무관하지 않았다. 실제로 비교 대상인 화엄경의 목본과 초본 비율은 각각 17종(48.6%)과 18종(51.4%)이었고 열반경은 각각 36종(45.6%)과 43종(54.4%)으로 목본과 초본의 수록 비율에 차이가 크지 않았다. 2. 법화경에 나타난 식물 27종은 총 20개 과에 분포되어 있었다. 수련과 3종, 콩과 3종, 물푸레나무과 2종, 뽕나무과 2종, 벼과 2종의 순이었다. 다수 과에 분포된 식물은 대부분 중심사상 전달의 매개체인 천화(하늘의 꽃)에 속하는 식물이었다. 3. '하늘의 꽃' 이라고 신성시되면서 이 경의 내용 전개에 있어 중요한 위치를 점하고 있는'천화(天華)'는 연꽃과 수련 종류를 지칭하는 식물이 중심이 되었으며 유용한 관상 및 조경, 향료 자원 및 목재 자원 식물이었다.

This study examined Songgye Na-sik's(松桂懶湜, 1684~1765) literary world based on Priest Songgye's Anthology(松桂大禪師文集). In consideration of the insufficiencies of the only previous study on Songgye's literature, this study was focused on his ideological character and its historicity, the trend of literary exchange in the Buddhist circle, and the literary geographical aspect of his literature. Priest Songgye was the head of the Bonghwa-sa Temple in Andong during the years under the rule of Kings Sukjong and Yeongjo, and learned from Hwanseong Ji-ahn(喚醒志安, 1664~1729) and Nakam Eui-nul(落巖義訥, 1666~1737). The priest did not have many students under him nor leave numerous writings. In the process of the development of the Buddhist doctrines in the late Joseon Dynasty, however, he completed the scripture learning courses faithfully and laid the ground of his philosophy. In addition, the afterword of Hwaeomgyeongchilcheogupumhoipummok (華嚴經七處九會品目跋) shows that he compiled the book under his teacher's instruction. What is more, he is known to have devoted himself to belief in the Pure Land in his late years. Given these backgrounds, the priest's life, writings, and ideological tendencies pursued all of Zen, Hwaeom, and the Pure Land together, and at the same time, reflected the characteristics of Korean Buddhism in the 18th century. The priest steadily cultivated himself in poetry and established his own literary world, and all the outcomes were fully reflected in his anthology. Priest Songgye walked the road of a learner throughout his lifetime but, on the other hand, he established his identity as a literary man in the specific time and space of Andong, Yeongnam in the late Joseon Dynasty.

This manuscript started with the purpose of producing research that investigated and verified how Buddhism was understood by Seongdam (性潭) Song Hwan-gi (宋煥箕), the founder (宗匠) of Horon (湖論) who was active around the early 19 th century. Song Hwan-gi, Uam (尤菴) Song Si-yeol (宋時烈)'s fifth generation, was a scholar who had a deep sense of duty to inherit the Theory of Uam (尤菴學), and he adhered to the Confucian theory of genealogy (道統論) and Anti-Heresy Discourses. Thus, this manuscript expressed curiosity about Song Hwan-gi's understanding of Buddhism, which was the representative heresy. This manuscript examined the naming method of Buddhist clergy (僧侶), degree of pedagogical knowledge, and critical statements that were made concerning Buddhist tales (說話). Meanwhile, it is noticeable that the terms of address for Buddhist clergy were composed of four categories: general terms, honorific forms, palanquins [輿], and miscellaneous terms of address. This scheme conforms to the Buddhist-friendly aspects of Song Hwan-gi. Examples of these terms of address include Danseung (擔僧) and Yeoseung (輿僧), both of which were Buddhist clergy who carried palanquins. Naturally, Song Hwan-gi was helped by Buddhist clergy when he went sightseeing on famous mountains. In the meantime, Song Hwan-gi's pedagogical knowledge can be shown to be not especially profound based on his understanding of The Diamond Sutra, The Avatamska Sutra, and The Shurangama Sutra. Cheongnyansan Travel Records (淸凉山遊覽錄) and Dongyu Diary (東遊日記) make it clear that Song Hwan-gi had no interest in taking refuge in the three treasures of Buddhism (佛法僧 三寶). It is rather the case that he was deeply critical of Buddhism. On the other hand, Song Hwan-gi expressed profound sadness when he encountered the dilapidated remains (古蹟) of Buddhist temples and hermitages. Consequentially, it can be concluded that Song Hwan-gi's understanding of Buddhism contained examples of affirmation, acceptance, denial, and exclusion.
