History of Korean Buddhism

Buddhism began with the culture of the Indian river basin known as one of the earliest civilizations in the world, Halapang. This area later became India. Aliens, known as Indian Arians, moved from Russian savanna and later assimilated indigenous peoples there. (Reat, 1994: 3) These pastors of the nomads brought a scripture called Veda. Each Veda has a section called Upanishad. The remaining Vedic scriptures contain poetry and hymns or practical instructions for rituals and sacrifices, but Upanishads pay more attention to meditation.

The complete history of Korean Buddhism can not be summarized into short articles, but important people who help shape and develop them can be highly appreciated. Before introducing this personality, I would like to briefly introduce the introduction of Korean son Buddhism. Korean priests started from Chang'an family in China and are deeply involved in tradition as much as their master's disciples. Therefore, it has entered Korea from early and its Korean pronunciation is my son. The spread of the entire Silla Period was quite fast until several sons were founded on different mountains in the peninsula. These mountains are known as Jiushan's son.

Buddhism experienced many confusion in the Korean Peninsula, but today there are about 14 million Koreans who are doing Buddhist activities in Buddhism. In 1964, a Buddhist monk named Soh Kyongbo established Korean Buddhism in the United States. Most Korean Buddhists belong to the Jogye tribe. Famous Buddhist organizations in the United States include the Zen Lotus Association of Michigan State, the Korean Buddhist Temple Association, the Young Buddhist Alliance of Los Angeles, Buddhists related to social justice and world peace, the Western Buddhist monk Association, the Southern California Buddhist Temple Association, others There are countries. Several sons and Dalma Center. According to the Korean Buddhist Temple Association, there were 60 temples in the United States and Canada in 1990. The young Buddhist Alliance hosts the annual festival where Buddhist monks dance, sing, read songs' poetry, sketch comedies, play theater, and read aloud the piano.

The Korean Buddhist order launched Buddhism modernization focusing on monastery education and educational reform in the colonial era. Korean Buddhists also tried to use Buddhism as a source of national identity to prove the survival value of religion. They rationalized Buddhist reforms to improve Korean tradition. They began to strengthen their own identity different from the identity of Japanese Buddhists and wrote the history of Korean Buddhism. However, their national concepts, especially the relationship with the state are contradictory. Young clergy began to form their own organization in the early 1920s and protested in search of Sanga's national rule and religion.
