AB - Now, when Won-Buddhism has come to the moment of it’s 100th anniversary, it has become more complete as a religion and can be studied in a wide variety of ways from the point of view of religious studies. Won-Buddhism can be studied in an academic manner in a wide variety of ways that include its formation as a religion, its historical circumstances, cultural relations, doctrinal system and articles of faith, and symbols―all in a religious context.
The most important theme concerning Won-Buddhism is with regard to ‘the historical circumstances related to the formation of Won-Buddhism.’ In other words, this topic is concerned with the emergent theory of how Won-Buddhism was formed in the age of colonialism that coincided with the period of Korea’s opening and national hardship. It is an issue that deals with the violent and imperial suppression inherent in so-called modernity and the traditions Won-Buddhism as a national religion aspires to bequeath and what legitimacy such a bequest of tradition can have. This paper outlined the evaluation of Won-Buddhism as a new Order by reviewing systematically 1) the issue of the emergence of syncretism, 2) the issue of origination based on Buddhism, 3) the issue of community ideology in the reformation theory of Buddhism as a new Order and the establishment of a new Order.
