THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF BUDDHISM IN KOREA

Edited  by THE KOREAN BUDDHIST RESEARCH INSTITUTE

PREFACE

This is book about the history of Buddhism and its impact and influence on the artistic, educational and political development of the people of Korea.

Over the last 2.500 years, Buddhism has spread throughout Asia. Wherever Buddhism has been accepted, it has developed affecting and integrating with the indigenous culture. The result has been a unique form of Buddhism in each country, even though the basic tenets and ideas remain the same.

Due to the proximity of China to the Korean peninsula Chinese culture has greatly influenced all faces of Korean life. Buddhism is no exception. Successive generations of Korean masters went to China and learned Buddhism and culture and they returned to their homeland bearing their experiences with them. Little by little, Korean masters developed the ideas that they had received and so Korean Buddhism was born. Mary masters then went on to influence the development of Buddhism in China.

This book has a general introduction and five chapters each one concerned with bone of the man periods of history. It starts off by looking at the introduction of Buddhism to the peninsula and its subsequent development during the Three Kingdoms period. The next section deals with the unification of the peninsula in 668 C.E. when Buddhism developed rapidly in the Unified Shilla period. The 3^rd section considers Buddhism during the Koryo period (935-1392). The following section is concerned with the Choson Dynasty (1392-1910) during which Buddhism was largely persecuted. The modern period covers the Japanese occupation of Korea (1910-1945) and more recent developments. Each chapter was written by a specialized scholar, all professors at Dongguk University.
