월하계오(月荷戒悟)와 유자들의 교유 양상

초록

In terms of the relationship between Confucian scholars and monks, this study concerns Wolha Gyeoh who was active around Gajisan Mountain in Ulsan in the early 19th century. Wolha interacted with Confucian scholars in Gyeongju and Gimhae, centering on Ulsan. It is noteworthy that their views on Buddhism vary. Hong Jikpil (洪直弼) and others are critical of Buddhism, with Choi Rim (崔琳) — a Confucian scholar in Gyeongju — having displayed a neutral position. At the same time, it was said that Confucianism and Buddhism would eventually disappear, so Choi Rim's comments show the change in Confucianism. Buddhistꠓfriendly Confucian scholar include Choi Nambok (崔南復) — a Gyeongju Confucian scholar who ran the Baeklyeon Seosa (白蓮書社) — and Lee Hakgyu (李學逵) — who had been exiled to Gimhae. Lee Hakgyu praised Wolha's poem by saying that it seems to contain the end of Zen Buddhism, and asked questions about sudden enlightenment. In the case of Choi Nam-bok and Lee Hak-gyu, they seem to have become interested in Buddhism because Confucianism alone is not adequate in the face of adversity experienced throughout life. This ability to interact with various Confucian scholars reflects the spatiotemporal characteristics of Gyeongsang-do in the 19th century.
