ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research is to examine the awakening and Zen ideology presented by Baegun- Gyeonghan(白雲景閑) and his purpose of writing Jikji(「直指」). Major findings are as follows: 1) ‘Munyeom(無念)’ is ‘the state of mind from which worldly-desires(妄念) do not arise’. ‘Musim(無心)’ is therefore ‘the absence of worldly-desires(妄想)’. ‘Munyeom-Beop(無念法)’ means ‘the state of mind in which people are neither affected by nor dependent upon whatever objects.’ 2) Baegun-Hwasang(白雲和尙) learned about ‘Musim’ from Jigong-Hwasang(指空和尙), and his awakening was approved by Seogok-Cheonggong(石屋淸珙) who had inherited the Imjejong Sect(臨濟宗). In 1353, he was awakened to achieve a complete deliverance from worldly attachments in ‘Munyeom- Jinjong(無念眞宗)’. Baegun’s Zen ideology is the ideology of ‘Munyeom․Musim’, based on the idea of ‘Munyeom’ presented as the state of awakening in Yukjo-Dangyeong(「六祖壇經」), and the idea of ‘Musim’ perfected by Majo-Doil(馬祖道一) and Hwangbyeok-Heun(黃檗希運). 3) Baegun’s Zen of ‘Musim’ can be perceived as a brilliant guidance for the followers toward ‘Musim (Immediately free from worldly desires)’ as the right enlightenment, and a drive to write Jikji. 4) Baegun’s purpose of writing Jikji was to ① enlighten the Zen ideologies of masters(祖師禪) of the Namjong Sect(南宗禪) since Yukjo-Hyeneung(六祖慧能) and ② enhance the Zen of ‘Musim’ founded on the concept of ‘Munyeom․Musim’ among various Zen ideologies of masters.
