| Won-Hyo, commonly regarded as the greatest thinker in Korean Buddhism, was a prolific writer who produced no less than eighty-six
works, of which twenty-three are extant either completely or partially. By his time, most of the important sūtras and treatises had
flowed into Korea from China, and they were causing a great deal of confusion for Silla Buddhists, as they had for the Chinese. It was
Won-Hyo's genius to interpret all of the texts known to him in a way that would reveal their underlying unity of truth without
sacrificing the distinctive message of each text. He found his hermeneutical key in the famous Mahāyāna text, the Awakening of Faith
(Dasheng Qixin Lun). |
