As colonial subjects, they were governed by colonial civil law which stipulated the freedom to marry, while, as members of monastic communities, they had to observe the temple laws which conferred considerable disadvantages on married monks. One of the restrictions imposed on married monks by the temple laws was that they were not allowed to advance to higher clerical positions, such as that of head monk or abbot. Because it was the colonial government that drafted temple laws and approved the appointment of head monks, the government had to oversee the practice of clerical marriage. However, some monks knew how to evade its surveillance. This paper revisits the issue of clerical marriage and colonial Buddhist policies by examining the double identity of Kim Chŏnghae, a Korean monk who studied in Japan in the 1910s and served as head monk of the Chŏndŭng-sa parish in the 1920s. His double identity is recorded in two household registers: one in which he is listed as a celibate monk and the other in which he appears as a married layman. These records provide evidence of the relationship between the colonial Buddhist policies and the reality of the practice of clerical marriage among Korean monks.","PeriodicalId":42017,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Religions","volume":"11 1","pages":"155 - 187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jkr.2020.0005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42966846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The six chapters of this text for courses on the history of Korean religion, philosophy, or culture demonstrate the transformation and glocalization of both transnational and local religions, such as Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Shamanism, and native new religious movements. What are the religious traditions of East Asia? How did they interact with Korean intellectual traditions? What geopolitical affect did these regional philosophical movements have on Korean kingdoms and dynasties? How were Korean religions unique? What were the identities of Korea’s ‘‘new religions’’ and how did they emerge in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? The Irish scholar Kevin Cawley explores the cultural and political roles of various religions as the key ideology of given eras of Korean history, from the Three Kingdoms to contemporary times. The author argues not only that Korea’s religious and philosophical traditions will continue to shape its future, but also that perceiving the combination of those traditions is a way of understanding ‘‘how Koreans think, live, and practice religions, which in the Korean context is inseparable from a long philosophical tradition’’ (xvi). First, in terms of definition, the author regards religion and philosophy as ‘‘pathways’’ towards self-transformation in a Korean/East Asian context. He warns that insofar as its etymological meaning, the Western word ‘‘religion’’ should not to be applied to East Asia. Rather, it is argued, the ideological traditions of Korea should be understood as cultural ideas (the ‘‘three teachings’’ in the form of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism) from ancient China,","PeriodicalId":42017,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Religions","volume":"10 1","pages":"331 - 334"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jkr.2019.0008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46343451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For Chinul, when through flawless detachment, one’s mind essence and function reach a point of complete harmony, one achieves perfect empty quiescent spiritual knowing. For Ignatius, when through perfect indifference one’s will becomes one with God’s, one can discern His will without fail. Such uninterrupted empty quiescent spiritual knowing and continuous indifference and discernment represent ultimate realization in Chinul’s and Ignatius’ respective thought. According to this functional comparison, just as the experience of quiescent emptiness allows one to see Buddha-nature in one’s mind, the experience of the Spirit allows one to see God dwelling in oneself. It is, indeed, on the basis of these awakening experiences to quiescent emptiness on the one hand, and to God’s presence on the other, that God and/or quiescent emptiness work in or through human mind-nature, thus allowing the making of right discernments leading to right thoughts, words, and actions.","PeriodicalId":42017,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Religions","volume":"10 1","pages":"183 - 220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jkr.2019.0010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43980580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Comparative Study of Sudden and Gradual in Sŏn 禪 and the New Testament Sŏn《圣经》与《新约》中“突然”与“逐渐”的比较研究

It is inspired by the ongoing Korean sudden/gradual debate sparked by Sŏn Master T’oeong Sŏngch’ŏl 退翁性徹禪師 (1912–1993) in the 1960s, and which has contributed considerably to the shaping of Chogyejong’s 曹溪宗 contemporary doctrine of practice and awakening (sujŭng non 修證論). But rather than being chiefly focused on that debate—about which I have written abundantly elsewhere—this essay looks for its key elements in the New Testament: suddenness, gradualness, practice, and awakening. Unsurprisingly, these concepts, chiefly philosophical in nature, are almost never named as such in the Gospel, not even from a Christian theological perspective. However, one may look for the ideas underlying them, and discover, not only that their meaning is at work in the New Testament, but also that it is part and parcel of its soteriology. In other words, these concepts may provide access to the overall meaning of Christian scriptures’ core and thus allow us to decode it, if not more profoundly, at least from a new perspective. Once one discovers how they interact within the New Testament, especially in the synoptic Gospels, it becomes possible to acquire fresh insights into the way the Evangelists conceived and described a theology of spiritual experience leading to complete salvation. This result may, in return, shed new light on the meaning of Sŏngch’ŏl’s adamant rhetoric of immediacy and experience.","PeriodicalId":42017,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Religions","volume":"10 1","pages":"153 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jkr.2019.0009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41424205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike in the Koryŏ period, the identity of the monastic community during the Chosŏn period was mainly determined not by its relationship with the state, and financial support and social legitimation were obtained from the unlikely support of the Chosŏn socio-political and cultural elites. It was a move to secure its survival wherein the monastic community turned to perhaps a familiar source of support. If we move beyond traditional notions of Buddhism as a system of doctrines and teachings, or else one largely consisting of a set of popular religious practices, and instead look at its institutional and cultural activities, we can witness the re-emergence of Buddhism in the late Chosŏn period. Here we find that Chosŏn Buddhism was in fact more established than previous studies have concluded. Institutional and cultural activities of monastic Buddhism were central in establishing the religion’s social legitimacy, especially in connection with the Chosŏn sociopolitical and cultural elites and their support, both financially and through their participation in temple works. The temple culture in which the socio-political and cultural elites took part offers insights into the development of Buddhism during this period, as such developments became the foundations for a new form of Buddhism. Quite different from the Buddhism of Koryŏ, which was heavily characterized by state patronage, Chosŏn Buddhism was decisively determined by its relationship with socio-political and cultural elites.","PeriodicalId":42017,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Religions","volume":"10 1","pages":"221 - 246"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jkr.2019.0011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42202820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the Government-General had the authority to appoint and dismiss head monks, internal records show that when head monks were elected in conflict-free towns and provinces, the Government-General did not actively intervene in the election process. Despite the widespread belief that the Government-General actively supported married monks, its leaders actually criticized their marital status. They approved the appointments of married head monks in response to the increasing demands of Korean Buddhist society, demands for amendments to temple regulations the Government-General had no choice but to accept as the number of married monks grew. The Government-General attempted to create the Temple Public Asset Foundation whereby any temple-owned assets, such as temple buildings and forests, would be transferred to the Foundation for partial management. However, a lack of cooperation among the Buddhist leaders derailed this plan. The Government-General exercised comparatively weak control over Korean Buddhism until World War II and, despite Japanese rule, Korean Buddhism managed to pursue a relatively autonomous development.","PeriodicalId":42017,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Religions","volume":"10 1","pages":"275 - 299"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jkr.2019.0006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45501917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
