During that time, the recognition that Buddhist literature is a so¨n poetry was dominant over all the others. Of course, it is true that a Buddhist chinese poetry which express the realm of Buddhism in chinese character cultural area through chinese poetry, a particular literary form, has something in common with so¨n, imitating Buddhist-character by suggestive and symbolic poetical style. Cause of this point, so¨n priest poetry can mean so¨n poetry. In other words, the inclusive idea of Buddhist poetry may be a so¨n poetry was truly in existence and when we inquire into a study result of Buddhist literature, almost result is laid disproportionate on so¨n poetry. With a critical mind to this circumstances, I want to examine a aspect of Buddhist literature which use diffrent style of poetry from former so¨n poetry in this thesis. Through Yeon-dam-you-il's poetry literature I examined some aspects about the Buddhism scholar. Yeon-dam-you-il(1720∼1799) is representative Buddhist scholar in 18th centry. Though Buddhism succeed the tradition of both so¨n and Buddhism that time, the main current was a Buddhist scholar. Yeon-dam is who followed his senior Seol-pa-sang-un so who devoted his whole life to editing the meaning of a teaching and lecturing the Buddhist scholar laying stress on the study of Avatamsaka. By unfolding a contention mind with Muk-am, he took the lead in Buddhism thought. In the second chepter, setting scholastic Buddhist poetry as a premise dispute about Yeon-dam's insperation towards language and useing a poetic word. The words of so¨n which is based on the theory of no dependence on words and letters, insist giving up Buddha's lesson purued intensional deliverance language situation. But Yeon dam chase intensional understanding apprehension language situation that can comprehend truth's real nature on account of understanding the sutras' purport. In other words, so¨n try to transcend words while Buddhist scholar thinks much of fine reason and exact understanding of delivered meaning. Those difference between these two recognition is found individually in real poetry literature. In chepter three, this thesis examine a aspect as a Buddhist poetry of real Yeon-dam's poetry. This has two phasese largely, one is expression on book toward Avatamsaka's logic, the other is expression about scholar of so¨n. The core of Yeon-dam's Buddhist scholar is Avatamsaka scholar. With Avatamsaka's the theory of co-rising the totality of things the Dharma realm which thinks all beings co-rising one soul, he represent the reason about learning of Avatamsaka scholar carrying the idea that each being may seem diffrent directly in his poetry literature. Though it might have less literary inspiration than traditional so¨n poetry, it coincide all the better for with the nature aim of Buddhist poetry, understanding and transmission of Buddhist scholar.
