『초발심자경문(初發心自警文)』에 나타난 선사상 고찰

초록

The purpose of this study is to extract Seon thought in the basic textbook of Korean Buddhist monks, Chobalsimjagyeongmun(CBJM), and analyze their characteristicsto illuminate its value as Korean Seon literature. CBJM consists of three texts: Bojo Jinul’s Gyechosimhakinmun(Chosim), Wonhyo’s Balsimsuhaengjang(Balsim) and Yaun’sJagyeongmun. We can find the contents that stand out or at least match the perspective of Seon school. Chosim includes not only the lifestyle devoid of discrimination and obsession in company with the cardinal meaning of Seon school such as ‘no establishment of words and letters’ but also the characteristics of Jinul’s thought. Although there is no part directly related with Seon thought in Balsim, it is correspond with Seon masters’ teaching to emphasis on observing precepts and encourage arousal of the mind towards enlightenment through alerting to impermanence and death. In Jagyeongmun, another expression of Buddha nature, ‘Juingong’ appears, and Mengshan Deyi’s ideological influence of Ganhwaseon practice is also reflected. CBJM is a literature that can identify the identity and major traditions of Korean Seon, and is a systematic introduction to Seon practice that shows that Seon thought is the main ideology of the education for Korean Buddhist monks
