元曉思想及韓國高等教育中的當代應用-“和諍思想化的天才形象”
A Korean monk, Wonhyo (元曉, 617∼686) is widely known for synthesizing the various Buddhist schools during the three Kingdoms period into a unique system of thought called ‘hwajaeng (Harmonizing the doctrinal disputes).’ Since then, this thought has not only influenced on various East Asian Buddhist genii, but also made an enormous impact on Korean moral education.
With this point in mind, this lecture outlines the historical background and basic ideas of Wonhyo's thought with hwajaeng in focus, and reads through several discourses shown in Ten Approaches to Harmonizing the Doctrinal Disputes (Sipmun-hwajgaenglon) and some other works. Focus will be given to Wonhyo's way of interpreting and reconciling the arguments between the conflicting views, such as those of the existence and non-existence of Buddha-nature.
Lastly, I would like to introduce how this line of thought reflects the present Korean education curriculum from the early period to higher education.
