As an effort searching for the future directions of Won-buddhism Discipline Theory establishment, this writing attempted to review the main method and characteristics of Won-buddhist`s Discipline Theory. Through reviewing the methods and characteristics of Won-buddhist`s Discipline Theory, We found several principles and methods of the Won-buddhist`s Discipline Theory. While some of main principles are fixed, the others can and should be changed according to the enviornments and situations of each period. Generally, it is said that a spiritual age is coming in the 21st century. Therefore, when establishing the main issues of discipline as the most significant of religious cultures, Won-buddhism can meet the 100th anniversary of its foundation as a main actor of a new spiritual age. For this wish, Won-buddhism must clearly re-establish theories about mind structure and principles, reflect the current major considerations to this re-establishing work, and find a way to overcome these considerations ideologically and theoretically. In this point, the current researchers` more efforts and the fostering of more succeeding researchers are required.
