광복 후 불교계의 출판 - 광복 후에서 1970년대까지 -

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Korean Buddhism cultivated the splendid culture in the realm of the Buddhism publication business in the past. There are, however, no publication records which are equivalent to those of the past Buddhism publications in a modern society. Especially, the Korean Buddhism publication started from inadequate circumstances after Korea's liberation day. Due to the inadequate supply equipments for the Korean Buddhism publication as well as no demand for Buddhism books resulting from the Buddhists' fortune-seeking religious customs at that time, the Korean Buddhism publication resulted in the lowest output in the years of 1940 and 1950. After Korea's liberation day, there were big changes for the Korean Buddhism realm in the years of 1940. The one was to make Christianity as a preferential religion in Korea during the U.S. Military regime period. The other was a deep conflict between the left and the right in political ideology at the times. The Korean Buddhism lost an opportunity for developing its own cultural level due to both the Korean war and the inner conflicts among the Korean Buddhism realm in the years of 1950. Throughout the years of 1960 and 1970, however, Korean Buddhism publication business have equipped with rather a stable system by replenishing and enhancing its own publication inadequacy and capacity which meet the needs of the times, respectively. With that point of view, it was the years of 1960 that formed a current shape of Buddhism publication in Korea. During the times, a researcher majored in the Buddhism study began to be appeared one after another, and there were high motivations to publish books for the Buddhism and to translate the Buddhism sutra written in Chinese letter into those in terms of Korean letter. The translation work had been proceeded with an individual level before the times. But the individual level of translation work systematized into the institutional level of translation work in the Buddhism sutra translation center of the Dongguk University during the times. The Buddhism sutra translation center of the Dongguk University has been carrying on with the expert education & cultivation mission as well as publishing its own sutra translation works. After taking into the aforementioned change, there was a variety in the realm of the Korean Buddhism publication business during the years of 1970. Many publishers were founded and attempted various schemes in the Korean Buddhism publication record at the times. The followings were special features of the Korean Buddhism publication during the years of 1970. First, both the qualitative variety and the quantitative outputs began to increase in the realm of the Korean Buddhism publication business together with the transformation of the Buddhist thought at the times. For example, an anthology on Korean priests of high virtue who marked big foot prints on Korean history was published, and we can find out the efforts that tried to redeem their own identity. Second, there was a publication of professional book that includes the profound analysis of the Buddhism study. This publication work contributed in the research development of the Buddhism study. Finally, there were frequent publications of the general books that would increase the understandings of the Buddhism for the public. We can find out that the recent Korean Buddhism has taken a main role that can suggest our spiritual guide departing from the simple fortune-seeking religious mind attitude. This accomplishment can be attributed to the Buddhism publications of the years of 1970.
