ABSTRACT

Joungho Park-Hanyoung was a Buddhist monk[禪僧] who had virtues throughout “recitation[講]”, “commandment[律]”, “zen/Buddhist meditation[禪]”, “poetry[詩]”. And he was also one of the well-known intellectuals in Korea at that time. There is no doubt that he was a great authority who had been respected by not only the Buddhist society but also great scholars of those days. That fact makes us conclude that the level of his intelligence and personality was so high. In order that the study of Sukjon be made fully and properly, we need to study with diversified aspects related to him. In this chapter, on account of limited space, I would raise the necessity of research of his poetry in the first place. Therefore, in order to investigate the background of forming his poetry, we studied his life, “法脈”, and the sense of poetry. His sense of poetry was, in other words, “Wha-Um”, and for him, “Wha-Um” was nature, and the nature became well-organized zen-poetry getting out of concept itself. Here are the summary of his literary work. Among his 禪家詩 詠物詩, those poems with themes of “temples” are prominent. By sublimating human word into zen-word, he expressed the zen-world with symbolical method. Joungho himself wrote poems as a Buddhist monk[禪僧], and the poetry which he was pursuing was located in the world of “the inseparable[不二]” which was not distinguished from zen and accorded with the nature. It also imply the perfection of self throughout spiritual enlightenment with samadhi[三昧] of no wickedness in thinking[思無邪] and the stage of being Bodhisattva(菩薩) for mankind. That means 禪家詩 made by the result of ascetic exercises is another feature of 石顚詩. We can find that his zen-poetry is namely, the mark of samadhi and attained a stage of “poetry and zen are accorded[詩禪一如]”. The followings are the tasks remaining in this chapter. the study of his diversified thought(idea) Besides his zen-poetry, I am going to deal with nature-poetry[自然詩], greeting-poetry[人事詩], journey-poetry[紀行詩] later, and hope to have your full participation.
