Doctrine and practice in medieval Korean Buddhism : the collected works of {breve}Uich'{breve}on

Author:	{Breve}Uich'{breve}on
Publisher:	[Place of publication not identified] : [Publisher not identified], Honolulu : University of Hawai'I Press, 2016. [2017]
Series:	Korean classics library., Philosophy and religion.
Edition/Format:	eBook : Document : English
Summary:	{Breve}Uich'{breve}on (1055-1101) is recognized as a Buddhist master of great stature in the East Asian tradition. Born a prince in the medieval Korean state of Kory{breve}o (960-1279), he traveled to Song China (960-1279) to study Buddhism and later compiled and published the first collection of East Asian exegetical texts. According to the received scholarly tradition, after returning to Korea, {breve}Uich'{breve}on left the Hwa{breve}om (Huayan) school to found a new Ch'{breve}ont'ae (Tiantai) school when he realized that the synthesis between doctrinal learning and meditative practice in the latter would help bring together the discordant sects of Kory{breve}o Buddhism. In the late twentieth century, however, scholars began to question the assertion that {breve}Uich'{breve}on forsook one school for another, arguing that his writings assembled in The Collected Works of State Preceptor Taegak (Taegak kuksa munjip) do not portray a committed sectarian but a monk dedicated to developing a sophisticated and rigorous system of monastic education that encompassed all Buddhist intellectual traditions. In this first comprehensive study of {breve}Uich'{breve}on's life and work in English, Richard McBride presents translations of select lectures, letters, essays, and poetry from The Collected Works to provide a more balanced view of {breve}Uich'{breve}on's philosophy of life and understanding of key Buddhist teachings. The translations center on the monk's activities in the pan-East Asian Buddhist world and his compilation of scholarly texts, writings related to his interactions with royalty, and correspondence with his Chinese mentor, Jinshui Jingyuan (1011-1088). By incorporating {breve}Uich'{breve}on's work associated with doctrinal Buddhism and his poetry, McBride clearly shows that even in his most personal work {breve}Uich'{breve}on did not abandon Hwa{breve}om teachings for those of the Ch'{breve}ont'ae but rather he encouraged monks to blend the best learning from all doctrinal traditions with meditative practice.  Read more...
