Jorgensen, John. Collected Works of Korean Buddhism Vol. 7-2: Gongan Collection II. Translated by John Jorgensen. Seoul: Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, 2012.

The Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism has translated ten books on modern Korean Buddhism in English. The translations have been made available to the public as part of an effort to promote Korean Buddhism overseas.

The translation project attracted the attention of several Buddhist scholars and language specialists, among which David McCann, professor of Korean literature at Harvard University, and John Jorgenson, a specialist in Chinese, Japanese and Korean Seon (Zen) Buddhism and professor at La Trobe University, who helped with the translation of some of the works.

The ten translated works are: Harmonizing the Hundred Teachings, Tracts on the Modern Reformation of Korean Buddhism, A Collection of Modern Korean Buddhist Discourses, The Gyeongheo Collection, translated by Jorgenson, Sheaves of Korean Buddhist History, Sun over the Sea of Enlightenment, Temple of Words: An Anthology of Modern Korean Buddhist Poetry, translated by McCann, A Study of Korean Pagodas, Essential Compendium for Buddhists: A Modern Buddhist Liturgy, and An Anthology of East Asian Commentaries on the Nyayapravesa. (The Korea Times)

The works can be downloaded from the English website of the Jogye Order (at present only the first seven books are available and the other three will be available later), in a bid to promote Korean Buddhism abroad. In the words of the chairman of the Editorial Committee of the Modern Korea Buddhist Literature Project: “This project will help spread the Korean Buddhist culture to people all over the world.” (The Korea Times)

Last year, the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the South Korean government to expand the overseas promotion of Korean Buddhism. A government official noted: “So far, Korean pop culture such as K-pop and K-dramas have been popular overseas but through this MOU we hope to introduce our traditional culture, thereby contributing to the diversification of the spread of Korean culture.” (The Korea Times) In addition to the translation project, their joint efforts include inviting foreign dignitaries to South Korea to experience Korean Buddhism, temple stay programs, temple food exhibitions, performances, lectures, and hands-on activities both in Korea and at the 31 Korean Cultural Centers (KCC) located overseas.

Venerable Seol Jeong during his inauguration speech. From yonhapnews.co.kr Venerable Seol Jeong during his inauguration speech. From yonhapnews.co.kr The Jogye Order is a school of Seon Buddhism and South Korea’s largest Buddhist tradition, which traces its roots back 1,200 years to the Unified Silla (also known as the Later Silla) kingdom (668–935). The Jogye Order as a distinct entity emerged in the late 11th century when the monk Bojo Jinul, credited as the school’s founder, sought to combine the practices of Seon Buddhism with the theological underpinnings of sutra-based Buddhist schools, including Korean Pure Land Buddhism.

In recent years, the Jogye order has seen a dramatic decrease of the Buddhist population in South Korea (a decrease of 3 million). The renewed efforts to promote Korean Buddhism abroad might be about more than just the diversification of the “Korean wave.” A possible hope is that by riding the “Korean wave”, there will be a renewed interest (albeit from foreigners) in Korean Buddhism. It will be one of the challenges facing the newly appointed chief executive of the Jogye Order, Venerable Seol Jeong, who began his four year term yesterday after being elected by the Jogye’s electoral college in October.

The English translations of 10 books about Korea's modern Buddhism are displayed. / Courtesy of the Jogye Order

By Chyung Eun-ju, Park Si-soo

Ten Korean-written masterpieces about modern Buddhism are now available in English.

Korea's biggest Buddhism order Jogye initiated the project and several Buddhism experts and language specialists joined it. Among them are David McCann, a Korean literature professor at Harvard University, and John Jorgenson, a professor in La Trobe University's college of arts, social sciences and commerce.

“This project will help spread the Korean Buddhist culture to people all over the world,” Yonhap News Agency quoted the chief of the Modern Korea Buddhist Literature Compilation Committee as saying.

McCann translated “Temple of Word: An Anthology of Modern Korean Buddhist Poetry.” Jorgenson translated “The Gyeongheo Collection.”

The other eight books are: “Harmonizing the Hundred Teachings,” “Tracts on the Modern Reformation of Korean Buddhism,” “A Collection of Modern Korean Buddhist Discourses,” “Sheaves of Korean Buddhist History,” “A Study of Korean Pagodas,” “Sun over the Sea of Enlightenment,” “Essential Compendium for Buddhists: A Modern Buddhist Liturgy” and “An Anthology of East Asian Commentaries on the Nyayapravesa.”

PDF files of the translations will soon be available on the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism's English homepage (http://www.buddhism.or.kr).

The Temple of Words: An Anthology of Modern Korean Buddhist Poetry eBook 정보 The Temple of Words: An Anthology of Modern Korean Buddhist Poetry is a collection of one hundred and thirty-two Buddhist poems by fifteen poets, including Seon monks. This volume, which is composed of highly praised poetry in modern Korean literature, offers an opportunity to appreciate the aesthetic world of Buddhism that is embedded in sentiments of the modern intellectuals. The majority of the poems (120 pieces) in this book are written by monastics, monks and nuns. The list of the monks and the number of their poems included in this collection are as follows: Gyeongheo 鏡虛 9 poems, Yongseong 龍城 6 poems, Hanyeong 漢永 14 poems, Guha 九河 1 poem, Man’gong 滿空 8 poems, Hanam 漢岩 5 poems, Manhae 萬海 48 poems, Hyobong 曉峰 3 poems, Gyeongbong 鏡峰 11 poems, and Iryeop 一葉 14 poems. The other poets include O Sangsun 1 poem, Shin Seokjeong 3 poems, Gim Daljin 3 poems, Seo Jeongju 2 peoms, and Jo Jihun 4 poems. Manhae’s “Nim ui Chimmuk” (My Love’s Silence), Seo Jeongju’s “Gukhwa yeop eseo” (Beside a Chrysanthemum), and Jo Jihun’s “Seungmu” (Monk’s Dance) are widely known to the general public in Korea. The monastic poetry represents the unconventional features of Seon and their insights attained by the traditional practice of meditative contemplation. The other poetry by the secular Buddhist writers also attempts to express the subtle truth of Buddhism in the Korean script (Han-geul), thereby making a great contribution in causing the masses to know the Buddhist way of thinking and feeling, and leading them to empathize with the religion. The Temple of Words: An Anthology of Modern Korean Buddhist Poetry helps us to understand the “colors” of the modern Korean Buddhist intellectuals’ lyrical sensitivity and the “codes” in which they were communicating with the public. 언어 영어 기능 맞춤 텍스트, Google에서 생성한 PDF 판매자 Google LLC 저자 Han Yongun and others 발행인 Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism 권장 기기

Snippet from Wikipedia: Korean Buddhism

Korean Buddhism is distinguished from other forms of Buddhism by its attempt to resolve what its early practitioners saw as inconsistencies within the Mahayana Buddhist traditions that they received from foreign countries. To address this, they developed a new holistic approach to Buddhism that became a distinct form, an approach characteristic of virtually all major Korean thinkers. The resulting variation is called Tongbulgyo ("interpenetrated Buddhism"), a form that sought to harmonize previously arising disputes among scholars (a principle called hwajaeng 和諍).

Centuries after Buddhism originated in India, the Mahayana tradition arrived in China through the Silk Road in the 1st century CE via Tibet; it then entered the Korean peninsula in the 4th century during the Three Kingdoms Period, from where it was transmitted to Japan. In Korea, it was adopted as the state religion of 3 constituent polities of the Three Kingdoms Period, first by the Goguryeo (also known as Goryeo) in 372 CE, by the Silla (Gaya) in 528 CE, and by the Baekje in 552 CE.

As it now stands, Korean Buddhism consists mostly of the Seon Lineage, primarily represented by the Jogye and Taego Orders. The Korean Seon has a strong relationship with other Mahayana traditions that bear the imprint of Chan teachings as well as the closely related Zen. Other sects, such as the modern revival of the Cheontae lineage, the Jingak Order (a modern esoteric sect), and the newly formed Won, have also attracted sizable followings.

Korean Buddhism has contributed much to East Asian Buddhism, especially to early Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Tibetan schools of Buddhist thought.
