다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

So far, studies on the administration of the Buddhist Order have focused on analyzing the phenomena and searching for problems and solutions. This type of study was insufficient to raise the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order to the level of a science. This presentation will discuss the identity of the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order so that it can take shape as a scientific study. Rather than discuss the phenomena of the administration, I will focus on its characteristics as a science. Before we go on any further, I should define the term I am using. I will comprehensively define the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order since 1960 as "a science that serves the organization that learns and follows the teachings of Buddha." In order to discuss the identity of the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order, we need to define the nature of this scientific study and its objectives. I will first look at the nature of this study and then talk about its objectives. First, the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order belongs to applied Buddhist studies. The study of Buddhism as a science can be classified into pure Buddhist studies and applied Buddhist studies. The study of the administration of the Buddhist Order is a branch of applied Buddhist studies. Second, the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order belongs to private administration. Administration can be classified into public administration and private administration. The subject of the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order is the administration of a religious order, which is a nongovernmental organization, so it is a branch of private administration. However, unlike other kinds of private administration, which are based on the logic of market economy, the administration of the Buddhist Order has normative characteristics. The study of the administration of the Buddhist Order as a private administration must take this into consideration. Third, the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order is an interdisciplinary study. It is a scientific study that combines adminstration with Buddhism, and inherits the scientific method of the study of administration and Buddhist studies. Then, what is the objective that needs to be pursued for the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order to become a scientific study? First of all, the tools of analysis should be expanded. The subject of the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order is the administration of the Buddhist Order, and as for the fools of analysis, both Buddhist Studies and Public Administration are needed. In other words, the study of the Administration of the Buddhist Order is "a field of study that uses Public Administration and Buddhist Studies to research the phenomena occurring in the Buddhist Order." Of course, this is a concocted definition. Next, we need to differentiate the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order from the study of general administration. Ancient countries existed for the monarch or the emperor, and modern countries are said to exist for the people; administration exists to serve this purpose. However, in the Buddhist Order, anyone who believes in Buddhism has a priority over the monarch or the people. The administration of the Buddhist Order serves so that a person who believes in Buddhism can experience spiritual awakening, and this is the subject of the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order. Finally, pure Buddhist studies and the study of the administration of the Buddhist Order should coexist. The distinction between pure Buddhist studies and applied Buddhist studies was not made artificially but is purely a historical phenomena. There is no saying what is right and what is wrong. Each age has its own Buddhist studies, and in this age, this is how we define Buddhist studies. Therefore, when we talk about Korean Buddhist studies, it is proper to include all kinds of Buddhist studies without asking whether it is from the old days or belongs to a recent field of study. It will be enough to point out that traditional studies and modern studies each have its own characteristics. I hope this presentation will be of some use in fostering the development of a scientific study of the administration of the Buddhist Order.
