『세전』의 유교적 성향 연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

What is the background of studying Confucianism in Chŏngsan’s childhood? He was born in a Confucian family, so he learned Chinese classics, and he mastered Tung-chien(通鑑) at the age of 9. He studied the Four Books(四書) at 11, and since at the age of 14, he learned Neo-Confucianism from Gongsan(公山), a Confucian scholar. Based on the Confucian knowledge learned during his childhood, he had played a significant role in publishing the scriptures of Won-Buddhism such as Chŏngjŏn(正典), Taejonggyŏng(大宗經), Yejŏn(禮典) and Kyohŏn(敎憲).
What is the position of Sejŏn(世典) as a Won-Buddhist scripture? Sejŏn, one of the nine most essential scriptures of Won-Buddhism, was designed by Chŏngsan and published by his disciples after his death. Chŏngsan has already designed Sejŏn so it may be said that it is a commentary of the doctrine from Sotaesan’s Chŏngjŏn and Taejongkyŏng. It is because he was the prime student and successor of Sotaesan, so he interpreted Sotaesan’s teachings and embodied them as guidelines for life.
Then, the study examined whether there is a tendency of the structure of Confucian scriptures in Sejŏn. Sejŏn is the first part in Chŏngsan chongsa pŏbŏ, which consists of two sections of Sejŏn and Pŏbŏ and published in 1972. The editing structure of Sejŏn is similar to the structure of various Confucian practice books, which followed the steps of Confucius’ own life and the model of his task mentioned in the second Book of General issues of governance, the Analects. In short, the structure of Sejŏn was made up of the form of the Analects as Taejonggyŏng showed Confucian editing structure.
Therefore, according to the Confucian character of Sejŏn’s teachings, Chŏngsan added a practical spirit related to the training in morality based on facts in Won-Buddhism while converging the Confucian morality, loyalty and filial piety, and humanity norm. Specifically, Chapter 2: Education, Chapter 3: The Family, Chapter 5: Society and Chapter 6: The Nation in Sejŏn are related to Confucian scriptures and Confucian culture, and they show the penetration between Confucianism and Won Buddhism.
Furthermore, the study mentioned the significance of Sejŏn. Sejŏn is characterized not only by embodying Chŏngsan’s Threefold Ethics, but also by concentrating the contents of Kŏnkuklŏn(建國論) written by him immediately after Korean Independence. Sejŏn consists of 10 chapters, explains the intention of life that can lead to practice by actual item deviating from simple ethics, and holds his vow of saving the world and all beings. However, it seems that he understood the limitation in Confucianism, so he added Repose and Nirvana in Sejŏn with the Buddhist perspective.
