{"product_id":"9781438440255","title":"The Dharma Master Chongsan of Won Buddhism","description":"Won Buddhism emerged in early twentieth-century Korea after a long period of anti-Buddhist repression. It is a syncretic tradition, a form of Buddhism strongly influenced by the Choson dynasty's Neo-Confucian ethical heritage and by Daoism. Seeking to deliver sentient beings from suffering and to create a just and ethical world, Won Buddhism stresses practical application of the dharma and service. It offers a vision of people as one family, morally perfected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides the first English translations of the writings of Chongsan (1900-62), the second dharma master of Won Buddhism, who codified the new religion's central doctrines. The translations here include Chongsan's discussion of Buddha-nature, described as a mind-seal and symbolized by the Irwonsang (a unitary circle); his synthesis of Confucian moral and political programs with Buddhist notions of emancipation from birth and death; and his expositions on realizing the ideal of all people as one family.","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134354899184,"sku":"9781438440255","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781438440255_p0.jpg?v=1763756628","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781438440255","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
