Abstract

This study discusses the controversy related to the marriage of monks in the magazine Joseon Buddhism in the mid to late 1920s, in comparison to the preceding studies. It is possible to check their diverse voices entangled with pros and cons by examining the overall contents of contributions, breaking from the frame of pro‒Japanese and anti‒Japanese over the marriage of monks. Some who opposed the marriage of monks showed favorable attitudes to the Government General and Japanese Buddhism while others would resolve the problem of the observance of the Buddhist commandments inversely with the marriage of monks, going against their marriage. The image of the right monks they assumed was mostly something surreal, mysterious, solemn far from reality, which reminds people of the traditional Zen meditation and mountain temple life. On the other hand, those who agreed on the marriage of monks connected the issue of the marriage of monks to the socialization and popularization of Joseon Buddhism, and universal religion. In addition, they keenly point out the correlation between the marriage of monks and the violation of the Buddhist precepts that the idea of the violation of the Buddhist precepts has already been inherent in eating meat and the marriage of monks. However, among those who advocated such pros and cons, it is possible to identify the common ground that is concerned about the future of Joseon Buddhism rather than arguing the pros and cons of the marriage of monks, even though their views on future of Joseon Buddhism differed. This dissonance felt when examined from today’s historical perspective could be a phenomenon taken for granted by their eyes at the time.
