경허성우의 범어사 선풍 진작

초록

Gyeongheo Seong-woo was a figure active in the late 19th century and early 20th century, and played an important role in the history of modern and contemporary Korean Buddhism. As a Zen master, Gyeongheo inherited the traditional Zen style of Korean Buddhism and laid the foundation for the emergence of modern and contemporary Korean Buddhism. Regarding the relationship between Zen and Buddhist scriptures, Gyeongheo focused on Seon and utilized Buddhist scriptures as a supplementary function, but on the other hand, he showed a way of developing Seon style based on Buddhist scriptures. In addition, in terms of the practice of Seon, he accepted the existing tradition of the combination of practice and enlightenment, and showed an example of Hwadu practice by putting Ganhwaseon first. In particular, in the “Song of Enlightenment” he wrote about the enlightenment he experienced, Gyeongheo showed that his enlightenment was thoroughly the Buddha of the mind. Gyeongheo’s “Song of Enlightenment” was not a lament about the dark times, but an expression of his will for the aspect of enlightenment. Gyeongheo did not consider Zen practice and Buddhist scriptures as separate, and also considered Pure Land faith important. Gyeongheo was a remarkable figure who showed various aspects such as Zen thought, the relationship between Seon and teaching, Ganhwa Seon, and the movement of Zen practice. In particular, he explored the traditions and new interpretations of Korean Buddhism with Beomeosa Temple as the background. In this way, Gyeongheo entered Beomeosa Temple and personally demonstrated his practice, enlightenment, and Zen practice, and published Zen literature, thereby promoting the development of modern and contemporary Korean Buddhism. As a result, Beomeosa Temple was able to restore degenerate Buddhism and play a leading role in modern and contemporary Korean Buddhism in the 20th century. As a result, Beomeosa Temple became an open and inclusive space for practice.
