The Scriptures of Won Buddhism by Bongkil Chung Pdf
A philosophical analysis of Sot'aesan's religious thought follows, showing to what degree the central tenets of Mahayana Buddhism form the basis of Won Buddhist doctrine.".
Professor Joon-sik Choi's book is very important in gaining a full understanding of the doctrinal and historical antecedents of this populist new religion. It presents all its key tenets and practices in way that has never before been achieved in English. He does so without losing focus on the social and political milieu in which Won Buddhism emerged. During different stages in Korean history leading up to the to the 20th century, Buddhism and Confucianism took turns as Korea's prominant or favoured ideology. Sot'aesan sought a way to synthesise some of the confl icting teachings of Buddhism and Confucianism: for example, creating an urban-based practice allowed his followers to concurrently fulfi l their Confucianist duties of fi lial piety and familial responsibility while observing their Won Buddhist practice at a nearby temple.

The Dharma Master Chǒngsan of Won Buddhism by Chongsan Pdf
Won Buddhism emerged in early twentieth-century Korea after a long period of anti-Buddhist repression. It is a syncretic tradition, a form of Buddhism strongly influenced by the Chŏson dynasty's Neo-Confucian ethical heritage and by Daoism. Seeking to deliver sentient beings from suffering and to create a just and ethical world, Won Buddhism stresses practical application of the dharma and service. It offers a vision of people as one family, morally perfected. This book provides the first English translations of the writings of Chŏngsan (1900–62), the second dharma master of Won Buddhism, who codified the new religion's central doctrines. The translations here include Chŏngsan's discussion of Buddha-nature, described as a mind-seal and symbolized by the Irwŏnsang (a unitary circle); his synthesis of Confucian moral and political programs with Buddhist notions of emancipation from birth and death; and his expositions on realizing the ideal of all people as one family.

Korea has one of the most dynamic and diverse religious cultures of any nation on earth. Koreans are highly religious, yet no single religious community enjoys dominance. Buddhists share the Korean religious landscape with both Protestant and Catholic Christians as well as with shamans, Confucians, and practitioners of numerous new religions. As a result, Korea is a fruitful site for the exploration of the various manifestations of spirituality in the modern world. At the same time, however, the complexity of the country’s religious topography can overwhelm the novice explorer. Emphasizing the attitudes and aspirations of the Korean people rather than ideology, Don Baker has written an accessible aid to navigating the highways and byways of Korean spirituality. He adopts a broad approach that distinguishes the different roles that folk religion, Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity, and indigenous new religions have played in Korea in the past and continue to play in the present while identifying commonalities behind that diversity to illuminate the distinctive nature of spirituality on the Korean peninsula.
