Jinul’s View of Practice

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Bojo Guksa Jinul has been known in the modern Korean Buddhist community as the ‘revival patriarch’ of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism and one of the most respected eminent monks of history. Especially, Jinul’s Jeonghye Ssangsu and Dono Jeomsu are very important doctrinal works and represent the characteristic Korean Buddhism practice-method.
But since Master Seongcheol criticized in the late 20th century that Jinul’s Dono Jeomsu was a wrong method and emphasized that Dono Donsu was the only true enlightenment, the controversy over the practice-method has been continuing until now. This treatise describes the life of Jinul and his enlightenments and explains that many people do not fully understand Jinul’s thought; in particular that his Dono Jeomsu is an embracing methodology which is so flexible that it is not interrupted by Donmun and Jeommun, so that Dono Jeomsu is the practice method for many sentient beings with various faculties, in other words, superior faculties or lesser faculties.
