AB - This study looks at the process of Buddhistization of Won-Buddhism, focusing on the early period of Won Buddhism– that is, from Sotaesan’s Enlightenment to the ‘Declaration of Buddha Dharma’ in 1919. In other words, by looking at the history of the early religious belief of Won-Buddhism, this study tried to read ideological exchanges from a broader perspective, away from the history of thought exchanges centered on Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
The ‘Declaration of Dharma’ is the first Dharma Talk of Sotaesan that formed a Buddhist identity, and signifies the beginning of the Buddhistization process of Won-Buddhism. Until the ‘Declaration of Buddha Dharma’ in 1919, it was conceptualized as a way for edification, but the early Won-Buddhism was formed through diverse ideological exchanges.
Looking at the history of the early Won-Buddhism, the three years from Sotaesan’s Enlightenment to the Declaration of Buddha Dharma was a period that included important events such as between Enlightenment and rites, the firstly the Organization of the Ten-Person Unit, the Dialect (坊堰) work and prayers for Dharma authentication (法認祈禱). As such, it is also a period of complex religious identity. Therefore, to examine the process of Buddhistization of Won-Buddhism, it is necessary to classify the history of Won-Buddhism in greater detail.
In the early days of Won-Buddhism, the faith was formed through the relationship with the Jeungsan religions and ritual rather than the relationship with Buddhism. Afterwards, through the process of Declaration of Buddha Dharma, the doctrine of Won Buddhism was systematized with a focus on Buddha Dharma. Sotaesan was very wary of Shintong (神通). For Sotaesan, the early disciples at the time were obsessed with Shintong (神通), while Sotaesan wanted to suggest a new direction for them; namely, Dharma Assembly.
