Led by the Equipment Industry Mutual Growth Promotion Founda- tion, we also expanded support to help small and midsize equipment partners enter overseas mar- kets, which led SMEs to attain stronger competitiveness in the global market. Construction of Second production Base in China Doosan Infracore completed construction of its second production base, the Suzhou plant, after making investments of KRW 72.9 billion since 2007. To meet the rapidly growing demand of compact excavators, the new plant is dedicated to produc- ing compact excavators weighing 8 tons or less and has a capacity to roll out 9,800 excavators a year. Doosan Infacore plans to grow its presence in the Chinese and global markets through a two- pillar approach building on the new Suzhou plant and the existing Yantai plant—which is the market leader in cumulative unit sales in China.

The system is designed to enable the company to respond effectively to the ratified Korea-EU FTA and the Korea-US FTA.

The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2] He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada—the oldest surviving branch—has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications Vajrayana, a subcategory of Mahayana, is recognized as a third branch.

    COMPETING “ORIGINARY” TECHNOLOGIES: HUMAN CLONING, EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS AND BUDDHISM IN SOUTH KOREA AND BEYOND A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Marcie Anne Middlebrooks May 2015 © 2015 Marcie Anne Middlebrooks COMPETING “ORIGINARY” TECHNOLOGIES: HUMAN CLONING, EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS AND BUDDHISM IN SOUTH KOREA AND BEYOND Marcie Anne Middlebrooks, Ph. D. Cornell University 2015 This dissertation explores the emergence and development of a South Korean Buddhist discourse supporting cloned human embryonic (hSCNT) stem cell research as a national and global project of religious cultivation which mobilized Korean Buddhists via a more participatory “Buddhist Bioethics” promoting the scientist Hwang Woo-suk (黃禹錫) and his controversial work. I begin with an analysis of the fears and fantasies surrounding the figure of the “human double” or Doppelganger and the “human clone” in the traditional American and Western European contexts where, I argue, the double/clone exhibits the characteristics of what Jacques Derrida dubs “the supplement” – that which is invented to supplement or extend the “original” human being but also inevitably returns to haunt, enslave, and sometimes even destroy its human source. Given that Buddhism employs different ontologies of human being – including the doctrine of no-self anatman 無我, for example – when compared to traditional Western-European, Christian metaphysics, I ask does the modern

  • Purification Buddhist Movement, 1954-62: the Recovery of Traditional Monasticism from Japanized Buddhism in South Korea
    Purification Buddhist Movement, 1954-62: The Recovery of Traditional Monasticism from Japanized Buddhism in South Korea By Chanju Mun ABSTRACT The main theme of this article is to introduce Purification Buddhist Movement (Jeonghwa Bulgyo Undong), without which the readers cannot understand current Korean Buddhism. Even so, the movement has never been introduced to outside of South Korea, so the writer is to inform the readers of visualizing the movement’s general picture. There are only several academic articles on the movement even in the Korean language. In 2000, Korean Buddhists held a seminar on the movement in the first time and in 2001 published the first academic book on the subject with the collection of the articles presented at the seminar.1 Gim Gwangsik, specialist in modern and contemporary Korean Buddhism, leading the research on the subject, along with I Cheolgyo, compiled source materials for Purification Buddhist movement in 1996,2 which smoothly paved historians and sociologists in modern and current Korean Buddhism to conduct research on the movement academically and extensively. Based upon the source materials, he also published several papers on it in various journals and recently included them in his two books, published in 2000 and 2006 respectively.3 The Monastic Alumni Association of Dongguk University published a general historical book on modern Korean Buddhism in 19974 and discussed various subjects under five parts, (1) religious orders, (2) propagation, (3) text translation, (4) education, (5) culture, and

  • Korean Buddhism at the Crossroads: in Search of a New Paradigm for Early Modern and Modern Korean Buddhist Studies
    Korean Buddhism at the Crossroads: In Search of a New Paradigm for Early Modern and Modern Korean Buddhist Studies Compiled Abstracts Updated December 14, 2018 Juhn AHN (University of Michigan) Early Chosŏn Buddhism in Chŏlla The impact of the Koryŏ-Chosŏn transition on the Buddhist establishment in Korea is generally understood in current scholarship to have been a negative one. It is generally assumed that Buddhist monasteries underwent a radical reduction in size and number and their wealth confiscated to replenish the empty royal fisc. There is also a tendency to assume that this restructuring of the Buddhist establishment—often misinterpreted as its “decline”—was orchestrated and executed by the new Neo-Confucian Chosŏn government. This paper takes issue with this top-down view of the transformation of Buddhism in early Chosŏn Korea. Although the Chosŏn government did make a heavy-handed attempt to exert greater control over the Buddhist establishment, this paper argues that the fate of monasteries in the two Chŏlla provinces like Paegyang-sa, Paengnyŏn-sa, Songgwang-sa, and Wŏlnam-sa had less to do with state-led efforts than with complex negotiations that took place between the government, local families, and Buddhist monastic communities. It has been shown that the government's recognition of eighty-eight chabok monasteries in 1408 was the product of negotiations between local Buddhist communities and the government. Behind the recognition of Chŏlla monasteries we similarly find negotiations between the government and prominent local families such as the Kosŏng Yi. As this paper will show, concerns about center-periphery relations, spiritual lineage and monastery ownership, famines, border security, elite family credentials, and the local economy played a critical role in these negotiations and thus the shaping of the fate of Chŏlla- area monasteries during the early Chosŏn period.

In the process of deepening meditation, one can roughly identify three distinct stages: the stage of concentration, the stage of meditation, and the stage of absorption. Present concerns, worries, fears, and past memories often surface. Because it occurs on this foundation, it does not distort the shape of things to appear along with its force. There is in both cases a suggestion of involvement of the autonomous activity of the unconscious, of which Zen demands we must stand outside. This assumption enables a thinker to establish the law of identity, namely that A remains the same with itself, or identical with itself. An either-or logic ignores this interdependence, in part because it operates within a conceptual and linguistic space with the assumption that there is no temporal change.

Even those beings in the animal realm have been diversified by the mind, yet the mind is even more diverse than those beings in the animal realm.” This paper explores how this key early Buddhist idea gets elaborated in various layers of Buddhist discourse during a millennium of historical development.
