  • Imagining Ritual and Cultic Practice in Koguryŏ Buddhism
    International Journal of Korean History (Vol.19 No.2, Aug. 2014) 169 Imagining Ritual and Cultic Practice in Koguryŏ Buddhism Richard D. McBride II* Introduction The Koguryŏ émigré and Buddhist monk Hyeryang was named Bud- dhist overseer by Silla king Chinhŭng (r. 540–576). Hyeryang instituted Buddhist ritual observances at the Silla court that would be, in continually evolving forms, performed at court in Silla and Koryŏ for eight hundred years. Sparse but tantalizing evidence remains of Koguryŏ’s Buddhist culture: tomb murals with Buddhist themes, brief notices recorded in the History of the Three Kingdoms (Samguk sagi 三國史記), a few inscrip- tions on Buddhist images believed by scholars to be of Koguryŏ prove- nance, and anecdotes in Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms (Samguk yusa 三國遺事) and other early Chinese and Japanese literary sources.1 Based on these limited proofs, some Korean scholars have imagined an advanced philosophical tradition that must have profoundly influenced * Associate Professor, Department of History, Brigham Young University-Hawai‘i 1 For a recent analysis of the sparse material in the Samguk sagi, see Kim Poksun 金福順, “4–5 segi Samguk sagi ŭi sŭngnyŏ mit sach’al” (Monks and monasteries of the fourth and fifth centuries in the Samguk sagi). Silla munhwa 新羅文化 38 (2011): 85–113; and Kim Poksun, “6 segi Samguk sagi Pulgyo kwallyŏn kisa chonŭi” 存疑 (Doubts on accounts related to Buddhism in the sixth century in the Samguk sagi), Silla munhwa 新羅文化 39 (2012): 63–87. 170 Imagining Ritual and Cultic Practice in Koguryŏ Buddhism the Sinitic Buddhist tradition as well as the emerging Buddhist culture of Silla.2 Western scholars, on the other hand, have lamented the dearth of literary, epigraphical, and archeological evidence of Buddhism in Kogu- ryŏ.3 Is it possible to reconstruct illustrations of the nature and characteris- tics of Buddhist ritual and devotional practice in the late Koguryŏ period? In this paper I will flesh out the characteristics of Buddhist ritual and devotional practice in Koguryŏ by reconstructing its Northeast Asian con- text.

  • Breathing in Sundo Qi from the Mountains of Korea by Ron Catabia
    Breathing in SunDo Qi from the Mountains of Korea by Ron Catabia, SunDo Associate Master Teacher Koreans love their mountains. They are the splendor of Korea where about 75% of the peninsula is mountainous. Even with their busy, western-type life styles, many Koreans still find time to go to the mountains. When you climb to the top of a mountain you become closer to heaven and more in touch with the spirit and energy of the cosmos. There are many mountain ranges in Korea, but one stands out more than the others. This range begins at Mt. Baekdu, or Baekdu San, which is located in the northeastern area of North Korea. It spans almost the entire length of the Korean peninsula and finally ends close to the southern tip of South Korea. The length of the range is estimated to be about 900 miles. Koreans have long believed that their strength and life force come from this energy channel mountain range. According to David Mason in Spirit of the Mountains: Korea’s SAN-SHIN and Traditions of Mountain-Worship (HollyM, 1999), the Japanese, during their occupation of Korea from 1910-1945, wanted to break this qi (life force) flow and, using 8-foot long iron spikes, “drove them into geomantically strategic mountain peaks and passes throughout Korea in order to geomantically sever the ties between the Korean national spirit and the energy of the land on which they lived.” The strong bond between the Korean people and the qi of their mountains, still evident today, was clearly perceived by the Japanese.

  • An Introduction to Zen Words and Phrases Translated by Michael D
    久須本文雄 Kusumoto Bun’yū (1907-1995) 禅語入門 Zengo nyūmon Tokyo: 大法輪閣 Daihōrin-kaku Co. Ltd., 1982 An Introduction to Zen Words and Phrases Translated by Michael D. Ruymar (Michael Sōru Ruymar) 1 What follows is a translation of Kusumoto Bunyū’s (久須本⽂雄) 1982 book Zengo Nyūmon (禅 語⼊⾨, An Introduction to Zen Words and Phrases, Tokyo: Daihōrin-kaku Co. Ltd.), absent its glossary of monastic terms. The main text consists of 100 words and phrases selected by Dr. Kusumoto for exegesis from a variety of sources, but particularly from classic kōan (Zen case) collections like the Blue Cliff Record, the Gateless Barrier, and the Book of Serenity, as well as from the collected writings or sayings of renowned Zen Masters from both China and Japan, like Zen Masters Linji and Dōgen, or, again, from the poetry of such as Han Shan (Cold Mountain) and others. As a genre, there are numerous books of this kind available in Japan, and I have become familiar with two excellent Zengo texts now available to English readers: (i) Moon by The Window: The calligraphy and Zen insights of Shodo Harada (Wisdom Publications, 2011), !and (ii) Zen Words Zen Calligraphy (Tankosha, 1991). It is evident from the breadth and depth of his commentaries that Dr. Kusumoto brought a lifetime of study to bear on the matter contained herein. Though sketchy, he was born in 1908 and graduated in 1933 from what is now Hanazono University, one of several prestigious institutions at which he was destined to lecture in his areas of specialization: Chinese philosophy and Zen studies.

  • The Role of Korea in Cultural Transmission Between China and Japan During the Three Kingdoms Period
    The Role of Korea in Cultural Transmission between China and Japan during the Three Kingdoms Period Pál Koudela — Jinil Yoo INTRODUCTION The Three Kingdoms’ role in cultural transmission and its importance in different cultural fields is only now becoming clearer. There is more and more evidence sup‑ porting the fact that Korea played a complex part in this. China’s cultural, economic and political influence on Asia is core and a starting point for current studies; and during the Middle Ages Japan had been in China’s circle of influence since the th6 cen‑ tury. The two most important components of cultural relations were Buddhism and Confucianism, but summing them up is still very limited. This article compiles the latest results and shows this complexity from a new viewpoint. Buddhism is not only a religion, a set of beliefs and habits, but has artistic relevance in architecture, graphic arts, music, and poetry too. Buddhism is also a philosophy and had its influ‑ ence on thinking not only about religion but about ways of life. It also represented a part of international relations: monks went from Silla to Japan, first of all to Hyeja in 594 and later the famous mission from Paekche. Confucianism was also very im‑ portant, taking legislative and administrative structure to Japan through Korea. But there are other parts of international relations and cultural transmission like war‑ fare, dressing or even eating habits. Korean warriors fighting in the Three Kingdoms created their own style of armour, which spread to Japan, evolving into the image of the medieval samurai on horseback.

  • Korean Martial Arts
    ANCIENT MILITARY MANUALS AND THEIR RELATION TO MODERN KOREAN MARTIAL ARTS MANUEL E. ADROGUÉ, LL.M.1 LML INTRODUCTION2 In the 1960s and early 1970s, when Korean martial arts first started having an impact in the Western hemisphere, many martial art students turned to books in order to obtain additional information to that provided by their teachers. Today, many of these books are considered classics. Such books were mainly “manuals,” most of them available in English, as those written by Choi Hong Hi, Son Duk Song, Sihak Henry Cho, Rhin Moon Richard Chun, and Hwang Kee. Spanish speaking readers will also probably remember Lee Won II’s book. Students in those days could also refer to specialized publi- cations dealing with Korean-style forms (among the first, Jhoon Rhee’s “Chon Ji” series, and Kim Pyung Soo’s “Pal Gwe” series). Most of the classic manuals, as well as the majority of those written since that time, echoed and helped to foster among martial artists an acceptance of a number of historical affirma- tions as facts, despite their being devoid of any verifiable connection with the Korean history as described by other sources. Among the clichés used as evidence for the pretended antiquity of today’s Korean martial arts were the following: 1) The combat fierceness and dexterity of Hwarang and Sonbae warriors. 2) The promotion in rank that the king gave to military men taking into consideration their fighting performance in championships and festivals. 3) The archeological remains illustrating guardians or “strongmen” * EDITOR’S NOTE: (k., ryuk sa; ch.

  • History-TKD and Hapkido-Scott Shaw
    The History of the Korean Martial Arts By Scott Shaw Copyright 1979, 1982, 1987, 2001 - All Rights Reserved Ancient Korea and the Foundations for the Korean Martial Arts Korea is a predominantly mountainous peninsula, 320 kilometers (200 miles) wide by 965 kilometers (600 miles) in length. It extends Southward from the Chinese mainland. The East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan, borders Korea to the East and the Yellow Sea frames it to the West. Only twenty percent of the Korean Peninsula is lowland suitable for cultivation and mass settlement. The remaining eighty percent is too rugged for agriculture. Due to these geographic factors, the majority of the Korean population is concentrated along inland valleys and coastal plains which open up to its Western Coast. Koreans are an ethnically homogeneous Mongoloid people. The Korean Peninsula was first inhabited by Tungusic tribes from central Asia in about 3000 B.C.E. These people had a Paleolithic culture, using stones as tools and followed a shamanistic religion. The legendary figure Tan'gun is said to have formed the first Korean Kingdom in 2333 B.C.E. The Tungusic tribes spoke a Ural-Altaic language. This language group extends from Scandinavia and the Balkans in the West, through Central, North, and Northwest Asia in the East. Though dialects of the Ural-Altaic languages vary greatly, they each share similar characteristics of syntax (the way in which words are put together). This language group set the foundation for the modern Korean language. Korea is bounded to the North by China. The Chinese language comes from the Sino-Tibetan language group.
