고려중기 인주이씨와 불교경향

Abstract

Inju Lee Family believed in various Buddhism like Zen, Yoga, Hwaeom, so they did not attach too much importance to Yoga Buddhism. They produced several outstanding persons: Nanwon and Euicheon of Hwaeom Buddhism, Sohyun of Yoga Buddhism, Lee Jahyun of Zen Buddhism. Especially Lee Jahyun rehabilitated stagnant Zen Buddhism and spread belief in Manjusri bodhisattva to Zen Buddhism. All denominations of Buddhism in Koryeo society competed with one another, but did not conflict seriously. Each member of Inju Lee family had his own different taste. So Inju Lee family were concerned in several denominations of Buddhism. A group who bred discord among the denominations of Buddhism was rather the loyal family including the king than Inju Lee family. Buddhist denominations such as Hwaeom, Yoga, Zen, and Cheontae had aristocratic and plebeian aspects, so researchers might as well not blame aristocratic aspects upon Yoga Buddhism. On the contrary Yoga Buddhism had popular and plebeian aspects, with leading to relieve people and being in activity rather in the local area than in the capital.
