특집논문 : 대장경과 교판 = The Tripitaka and the Classification

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study presents an investigation into the relations between the Tripitaka the complete collection of Buddhist Sutras, Laws, and Treatises) and the Classification. The results suggest that there will be no problem if they follow the organization and system of the Goryeo Tripitaka in deciding the directions for Hangul Tripitaka. Given that the original purport of the Tripitaka and Classification was to understand the words of Buddha as part of Buddhist methodology, it`s required to change the existing perception of the Classification. If the realistic wall for the Oshiseol is still high, however, those following alternatives can be pursued: First, it`s a good idea to adopt the doctrine of Classification by Great Buddhist Priest Wonhyo in order to have all the aspects as a Korean Tripitaka. But there are a couple of issues to be taken care of first; his writings are not whole today; it`s not easy to decide his doctrine of Classification based on a few of his writings; and most of all, there is no consistent doctrine of Classification. Secondly, you can organize Tripitaka in a systematic way by using the Oshipalgyoseol by Buddhist Priest Jegwan in Goryeo. However, it will be extremely difficult to overcome the limitations deriving from the Classification of Tien-tai Buddhism. And finally, there is the final option of using the list by the Most Revered Priest Uicheon. Even though the list was not used in the Goryeo Tripitaka, it can be a good approach to organize Jangso around Gyeongrok like the list based on the asstumption that the Hangul Tripitaka is an imitation of the Goryeo Tripitaka. But the Sinpyin chejong kyojang chongnok (or the Uicheon List) is problematic with the Samjang organization as it`s a collection of the Gyojang of Jejong. In short, there are several problems to deal with when applying the doctrine of Classification by Wonhyo or Jegwan and the list by Uicheon right to the organization of the Hangul Tripitaka. However, the active utilization of the doctrine of Classification by our priests can be meaningful in that it can multiply the significance of the Hangul Tripitaka and enhance the pride of the Korean people.
