강성용 교수, 질문을 던지는 것이 불교 공부의 시작 [붓다빅퀘스천 45회]

There are two main areas of Buddhist study. There is doctrinal studies, which is the process of asking and answering questions for Buddhist study. And there is Buddhist studies, which is the academic study of Buddhism, encompassing various fields such as literature, history, and architecture. Sutras are transmitted orally, and historical sources such as the Ashoka inscriptions are crucial. To understand the sutras, an understanding of the cultural and linguistic background of the time is essential. Manuscripts, the original form of the sutras, play a crucial role in the study of sutras. Manuscript study requires a deep understanding of errors and correction methods, and textual criticism is also crucial. Practice and theory interact, and the content of the sutras influences practice. It is important to recognize that practice sometimes breeds self-confidence, which can be a significant obstacle to both research and practice itself. When studying Buddhism, it is essential to distinguish between Buddhist studies and doctrinal studies. Professor Kang Sung-yong emphasizes that Buddhist studies is an academic approach, while doctrinal studies encompasses personal experiences related to practice. ◇ Bulkwang Blog (Official): https://blog.naver.com/bulkwanger ◇ Bulkwang Facebook Page:   / bulkwang   ◇ Subscribe to the Bulkwang Newsletter https://page.stibee.com/subscriptions... ◇ Bulkwang Media Instagram:   / bkbooks79   ◇ Bulkwang Media Website http://www.bulkwang.co.kr/
