- 소개/요약e famous Haein Monastery (1967-1993) for twenty-six years, including twelve years (1981-1993) as Patriarch of the Chogyejong, by far the largest Korean Buddhist order. But his place in Korean Buddhist history is not without controversy, particularly his utter rejection of the then well-established “sudden-gradual” doctrine of awakening and practice advocated by Master Chinul (1158-1210). The effort to replace it with his own “sudden-sudden” doctrine has so alienated the vast majority of Korean Buddhist scholars that it is difficult to find balanced accounts of S?ngch"?l"s significance in histories of contemporary Korean Buddhism. In the first part of this paper, I use a dialectical approach, based on the Buddha"s doctrine of the middle path, to address seven of the most common misunderstandings regarding S?ngch"?l"s life and thought. My argument is that S?ngch"?l" must be seen not as an academic, but as a religious figure who dedicated his life to the practice of meditation. The second part examines both the doctrinal and the socio-political background of S?ngch"?l"s rise. Here I argue that the roots of S?ngch"?l"s sudden-sudden teaching were more religious than academic. The teaching arose not from an objective re-interpretation of Chinul, but from the need to reform the Korean Buddhist tradition that was in a deep state of disarray after several centuries of decay. The teaching was something of a doctrinal coup d"?tat at the Haein monastery, dating from 1967.
