Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of Daesan Kim Dae-ger’s( ) Timeless Meditation( ) Thought by illuminating Daesan Kim Dae-ger’s Timeless Meditation Thought in terms of Buddhist Sŏn Thought. The Timeless Meditation of Won-Buddhism can be seen as inheriting the Chinese tradition of Meditation, which inherited the spirit of Buddha through Meditation practice. This Timeless Meditation Thought was interpreted in a modern way by the enlightenment of Sotaesan, the original Buddhist doctrine, and practical interpretation was made by his student Daesan Kim Dae-ger. From this point of view, Chapter 2 suggested that the prehistoric image of Mahayana Buddhism, which was handed down from Bodhidharma in China, led to the dailyization of Meditation through traditions such as Bukjong, Namjong, and Hongjujong, and Timeless Meditation also inherited this tradition. In Chapter 3, the examples of Daesan Kim Dae-ger’s Timeless Meditation practice of concert through the Threefold Study, Wholeness of Both Spirit and Flesh, One Suchness in Action and Rest were examined through Daesan’s quotations. This study examines that Daesan Kim Dae-ger’s thought of Timeless Meditation is an important prehistoric image showing the identity of modern liveliness from the standpoint of inheriting the practical attitude of the great monk.
