ABSTRACT

Gathas of Haeinsammaeron is worth showing the achievement of Hwaeom Poetry between Uisang and Gyunyo. The contents of this work are as follows. In the beginning poem, the practice of mercy was put forward to publicize to all people that the journey back to the foundation was a process of enlightenment. In the main text, life, death, and anguish were said to be the causes of nirvana and enlightenment. This is because human beings in reality must experience reincarnation and anguish to gain nirvana and enlightenment. To explain this process, you must understand the part and the whole, the diversity of various worlds, equality of all beings, and awareness of time. This also included equality and harmony in Hwaeom thought. The editorial added to the text also said not to be arrogant and to always repent. Realistic practice and performance were more important. He affirmed his attempt to share his enlightenment with others, and said that penance was important as a way to perform. The future task is to compare this work with the works of other Hwaeom thinkers. Compared to Uisang's Beopsongge, several topics are dependent on each other and independent. In addition, the possibility of comparing Gyunyeo's Bohyunsiwona with the method of penance was opened.
