Abstract

Buddhism in Goryeo Dynast during the period of the Yuan intervention was influenced by Tibetan Buddhism, resulting in anti- sila-vinaya precepts in which monks’ marriage and eating meat were allowed. During this period, Jigong(指空 Śūnyâdiśya, 1300-1361) visited Goryeo as King Temür Jìnzōng (晉宗)’s messenger who lit incense to Buddha on behalf of the king. The enlightenment through Jigong’s Musaenggye(無生戒) and Indian Zen(印度禪) was transformed into a clean atmosphere, shocking the murky Goryeo Buddhism. With this as a momentum for Goryeo’s Zen monks, starting with Naong(懶翁), to look for Jigong after he returned to the capital of Yuan. Naong was the best disciple of Jigong, and this made him lead Goryeo Buddhism in the late years of King Gongmin. Of course, there was a reason that Naong had an outstanding ability. However, Naong was selected under the situation of enthusiastic memorial service for Jigong, which must had been an important impact. This allows us to determine how deeply Jigong’s influence was imprinted on Goryeo Buddhism. Jigong is an important figure in changing the flow of Buddhism in Late Goryeo Dynasty and Early Choson Dynasty. In this regard, a detailed review on Jigong is inevitable for the understanding of Korean Buddhism. This paper examines ① the murky aspects of the Goryeo Buddhism due to the influence of Tibetan Buddhism during the period of the Yuan intervention, ② the enlightenment by Jigong’s sila-vinaya, and its influence on Goryeo Buddhism, ③ the educational perspective through the comparison with Dharma and Indian Zen, ④ the connection between Jigong and Naong, and ⑤ Naong, who became the nominal head at the end of the Goryeo Dynasty thanks to the status of Jigong. This provides a clearer understanding of the Jigong’s influence on Goryeo Buddhism and his inheritance.
