Korean Influence on Early Japanese Buddhism. Not a systematic study, but rather a "sketch" of the key contributions of Korean monks, artisans, and specialists to early Japanese Buddhist doctrine, art, and architecture. 30 Photos.

PEOPLE GALLERY. Includes two group photos of everyone at the conference and meditation retreat. Also includes photos of the following individuals: Venerables Haemin, Muyeo, Hyeguk, Jeokmyeong, Subul, Jongho, and Inhwan; participants Mario Poceski, Alexander Kantner, Mark Schumacher, Jacqueline Jingjing, Yang Zhiguo, Kim Young Soo, Robert Buswell, Lin Peiying, Beata Grant, Elizabeth Kenney, Malcolm Voyce, Donggguk University Head Librarian, and various Bikuni (nuns). Sorry if your photo is not included. No favoritism is intended. Some photos just didn't turn out well. Of the 1000 photos I shot, only 280 are presented in these galleries. If you would like to submit your photo(s) for inclusion, please contact me. If you have a Facebook account, you can also post your photos at the Korea Kanhwa Sŏn Facebook Group Page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PHOTO CREDITS. All photos by Mark Schumacher (unless stated otherwise). Taken during a conference, meditation retreat, and tour related to Kanhwa Sŏn 看話禪 and Hwadu 話頭 meditative techniques (the Korean counterpart of Zen Kōan meditation). The event took place in Korea between June 23 and July 3, 2012. It was organized by the Center for the Study of the Chogye Order (Chonghak Yŏn'guwŏn) at Dongguk University. Participants included advanced graduate students, professors, and independent scholars in Korean Religions and Buddhist Studies. The retreat was held at Magoksa Temple, a few hours south of Seoul. If you would like to submit your own photo(s) for inclusion here (with credits to you), please contact me. If you have a Facebook account, you can also post your photos at the Korea Kanhwa Sŏn Facebook Group Page.
