This thesis is to reveal the friendly relationship of Da-San with Buddhist monks and his teaching, finding out the missing lists of writings in his anthology written for Buddhist monks during his exile period, especially by the centre of letters. In his anthology we found only five books related with Buddhist monks, but actually there are more writings of fifty eight books and over hundreds of writings found in several records and data. This study reveals the details of lists and sources. It finds that Da-San had more wider and deeper regular relationship with Buddhist monks than they understood so far. So these data make deep understanding of relationship aspects between Da-San and Buddhism during his exile period. There are two aspects, friendly relationship and teaching, in Da-San`s writings for the monks. WanHo Yoon-Wu, EunBong Doo-Wun, AhAm Heo-Jang are monks of friendly relationship with Da-San. It found that Da-San had his students, like SuRyeong Saek-Seong, GeeUh Ja-Gueong, Ch`ulKyung Eung-Aen, Ch`imKyeo Bump-Hun, HoUee See-Oh, Ch`oUee Uee-Sun, Ch`ulSun Heo-Juip, PungKye Hyung-Jung. Da-San taught them by letters in terms of the Confucian scriptures, encouraging repeatedly them to write Chinese poetry. The teacher and student relationship of Da-San, who called Jun-Deung- Kye, with Buddhist monks, was not just based on individual teaching. Da-San published, together with them, the history books of Buddhism temples, like “Dae-Dun-Sa-Jee” and “Baek-Ryon-Sa-Jee”. These books became exemplary history books in Buddhism history in the late of Chosun Dynasty. The monks who learned Da-San`s teaching, poetry writing and scripture appreciation, had active relationship with the writers of capital city, when Da-San were released from the exile and returned to Doo-Ryeung. Especially, Ch`oUee Uee-Sun, received great attention from the famous writers of capital city, caused sensation, it called Ch`oUee syndrome. Through revealing new data and lists, the relationship of Da-San with Buddhism can be well and in detail arranged, so they shall be well organized and translated, and more the research of Da-San`s position in Buddhism in the late of Chosun Dynasty shall be actively and newly completed.
