Rencently there is a trend searching for identity of Korean Buddhism inKanhwa-Zen(看話禪). Therefore we have the problem how we should set up the relation of Kanhwa-Zen with Hwaum(華嚴). Namely 'to sever the relation of Kanhwa-Zen with doctrine representing Hwaum or to unionize positively with it, that is the problem about the standpoint of Kanhwa-Zen.In this paper, I raised that question, then I researched the answer by analyzing the viewpoint of Bojo-Chinul(普照知訥) introduced Kanhwa-Zen in Koryeo dynasty, and that of Toeong-Seongchul(退翁性徹), the supreme patriarch of the Chogye Order(曹溪宗).As you know, they devoted themselves to set up the relation Kanhwa-Zen with Hwaum among Korean Zen masters. The thoughts of'sudden awakening and gradual cultivation' and of 'sudden awakening and sudden cultivation' instituted by them are become the greatest argument after emancipation from Japanese imperialism in the world of Korean Buddhism. That argument of the two thoughtshas two central points. One is the problem of awakening and cultivation. The other is the problem of relation Kanhwa-Zen with Hwaum or interpretation of those thoughts. Bojo-Chinul has a unified standpoint of Kanhwa-Zen with Hwaum and Toeong-Seongchul has a separate standpoint of them about that argument. ButIf we inquire into their thoughts of inside, conflicted superficially, there is there suffering and effort to fix Kanhwa-Zen in those days.In this paper, I made clear that all of them, Bojo-Chinul's and Toeong-Seongchul's standpoints are the efforts to stimulate the tradition of Zen in their times. I think that Korean Buddhism has to hold on the unified standpoint of Kanhwa-Zen with Hwaum.
