The Maha Prajnaparamita Hridaya Sutra (Heart Sutra)
English
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion
from the deep practice of Prajnaparamita
perceived the emptiness of all five skandas
and delivered all beings from their suffering
O, Shariputra, form is no other than emptiness,
emptiness no other than form, form is emptiness,
emptiness form. The same is true of feeling, thought,
impulse and consciousness.
O, Shariputra, all dharmas are empty.
They are not born, nor annihilated.
They are not defiled nor immaculate.
They do not increase, nor decrease.
So, in emptiness, no form, no feeling, no thought,
no impulse, no consciousness.
No eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind;
no form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or objects of mind,
no realm of sight, no realm of consciousness.
No ignorance, nor extinction of ignorance,
no old age and death, nor extinction of them.
14
No suffering, no cause of suffering, no cease from suffering,
no path to lead out of suffering, no knowledge, no attainment,
no realization, for there is nothing to attain.
The Bodhisattva holds on to nothing but Pranjaparamita,
therefore the mind is clear of any delusive hindrance.
Without hindrance, there is no fear,
away from all perverted views, one reaches final Nirvana.
All Buddhas of past, present and future, through faith in
Prajnaparamita attain to the highest perfect enlightenment.
Know then the Prajnaparamita is the great dharani, the radiant
peerless mantrum, the utmost supreme mantrum, which is
capable of allaying all pain. This is true beyond all doubt.
Proclaim now the highest wisdom, the Prajnaparamita.
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!
The Maha Prajnaparamita Hridaya Sutra.

Morning Bell Chant
English Translation
Our vow:
may the sound of this bell
spread throughout the universe,
make all the hell of dark metal bright, relieve the three realms of
suffering, shatter the hell of swords,
and bring all beings to enlightenment.
Homage to the shining, loving, holy one,
the great master Vairocana, Buddha of Light.
Now we recite the treasured verse from the golden book and display the
jewelled box with the jade axle.
Each particle of dust interpenetrates every other one.
Moment by moment, each is perfectly complete.
One hundred million, ninety-five thousand, forty-eight words are the
complete teaching of the one vehicle.
Homage to the great, wide Buddha: the Hwa Yen Sutra.
The first verse:
If you wish to understand thoroughly
All Buddhas past, present, and future,
You should view the nature of the universe As created by mind alone.
The mantra of shattering hell:
Na-mu a-ta shi-ji nam sam-yak sam-mo-ta gu-chi-nam om a-jana ba-ba
ji-ri ji-ri hum (three times)
We vow for our entire life to keep our minds, without distraction, on
Amita Buddha, the Buddha of infinite time and space.
31
All minds are forever connected to this jade brightness.
No thought ever departs from this golden form.
Holding beads, perceiving the universe;
with emptiness as the string, there is nothing unconnected.
Perceive and attain the western Amita Buddha.
Become one with the great western master, the “just like this” Buddha of
infinite life.
Become one: infinite time, infinite space Buddha.
The blue mountain of many ridges is the Buddha’s home.
The vast ocean of many waves is the palace of stillness.
Be with all things without hindrance.
Few can see the crane’s red head atop the pine tree.
Sitting quietly in a mountain temple in the quiet night,
Extreme quiet and stillness is original nature.
Why then does the western wind shake the forest?
A single cry of winter geese fills the sky.
Vowing openly with all world beings,
Entering together Amita’s ocean of great vows,
Continuing forever to save sentient beings,
You and I simultaneously attain the way of Buddha.
32
Become one with the western pure land, a world of utmost bliss.
The thirty-six billion, one hundred nineteen thousand, five hundred
names of the Buddha are all the same name.
Great love, great compassion, Amita Buddha.
Become one with the western pure land, a world of utmost bliss.
This Buddha’s body is long and wide.
This auspicious face is without boundary and this golden color shines
everywhere, pervading the entire universe.
Forty-eight vows to save all sentient beings.
No one can say, nor say its opposite.
No one can say, because Buddha is like the Ganges’s innumerable grains
of sand, or the infinite moments in all time, or innumberable dust
particles, or countless blades of grass, numberless number.
The three hundred sixty billion, one hundred nineteen thousand, five
hundred names of the Buddha are all the same name.
Great love, great compassion, our original teacher.
Homage to the golden Tathagata Amita Buddha.
The mantra of original mind’s sublimity:
Om a-ri da-ra sa-ba-ha (three times)

all beings in the universe.

Mantra that consoles the gods of the five directions:
Namu Samanda Mot Danam Om Doro Doro Jimi Sabaha
Opening chant of the sutra:
The supreme, profound, and marvelous Buddha’s dharma could
not be encountered in a million kalpas.
But now that I fortunately have seen it, heard it, and obtained it,
I vow to attain the true meaning.
Opening mantra:
Om A Ra Nam A Ra Da
I request Avalokitesvara bodhisattva, who saves this world with
its thousand eyes and hands, to grant its all-embracing, perfect,

strength and graceful appearance, who uses every one of its
thousand arms to protect this world, and whose thousand eyes’

meanings.

It unceasingly shows us the empty compassionate mind.
Avalokitesvara fulfills our wishes fast and completely wipes out
all bad karmas.
While the heaven, the dragon, and the holy beings protect us
with compassion, samyak sambodhi will be attained. The newly
attained body will be the bright flag; the newly attained mind
will be the wonder.
With new body and mind, we will get rid of all worldly dust and
cross the Sea of Suffering to attain the expediency which will
lead us to the gate of the Bodhi.
Since I now receive the bodhisattva by memorizing the chant, all
my wishes will be fulfilled.

Chant lauding the four directions:
First, a Bodhi-mandala has been established by wiping away
delusions in the east.
Second, coolness has been attained by wiping away distress in
the south.
Third, an elysium has been attained by wiping away desires in
the west.
Fourth, everlasting tranquility has been attained by wiping away
lewdness in the north.
Chant praising the Bodhi-mandala:
Now that every part of the Bodhi-mandala is free of dust, the
three treasures and the dragon of the sky come down to it.
Since I now possess and constantly repeat the marvelous mantra,
I will be protected by great compassion.
Repentance:
I now repent, from the bottom of my heart, of the sins, whether
large or small, which I have committed since time immemorial,
and which were created by the desires and committed by the
body, mouth, and will.
47
12 lines of repentance chant and names of 12 bodhisattvas:
Namu cham je op chang bo sung jang bul bo kwong wang hwa
yom jo bul . . .
Today, I repent for killing sentient beings.
Today, I repent for stealing.
Today, I repent for committing adultery.
Today, I repent for lying.
Today, I repent for my alienating remarks.
Today, I repent for my evil tongue (utterances).
Today, I repent for craving sex.
Today, I repent for getting angry.
Today, I repent for my foolish behaviors.
Our karma which we have accumulated for millions of kalpas is
banished by one thought, as the dry bush that is set on fire and
burned away without leaving any trace.
Our karma has no self-nature; it arises only out of mind. If the
mind disappears, our karma will also disappear.
The only way to attain repentance is to let the mind and karma
disappear and attain emptiness.
Repentance Mantra:
Om Sal Ba Mot Cha Mo Ji Sadaya Sabaha (three times)
48
If you repeat the pious acts of Junje bodhisattva with a clear
mind, no difficulty will arise, and whether you will be reborn as

billion Buddhas.

mind of Kwan Se Um Bosal:
Om Ma Ni Ban Me Hum (three times)
The mantra of Junje bodhisattva:
Namu Sadanam Samyak Samotda Guchinam Danyata Om Ja
Rye Ju Rye Junje Sabaha Burim (three times)
Now that I vow to recite the great Junje Mantra faithfully and to
retain great Bodhi-mind.
I am confident that I shall be directed to practice through
samadhi and wisdom and see the brightness, to do charitable and
pious acts, to attain victorious fortunes, and to attain
Buddhahood with the people of this world.

Ten Guides Along the Path (Powang Sammaeron)
1. Don’t hope for perfect health.
Perfect health leads only to greater greed.
2. Don’t long for a life free from hardship–
such a life leads only to haughtiness and self-pampering.
3. Don’t hope for a lack of impediments in your study.
4. Don’t hope for a lack of temptations in your training.
A lack of temptations will only serve to soften your resolve.
5. Don’t hope for easy success.
Easy accomplishment leads only to increased rashness.
6. Don’t hope to get your own way with friends.
Having friends give in to your wishes only leads to arrogance.
7. Don’t expect people to follow your wishes or commands.
This, too, leads to arrogance.
8. Don’t expect rewards for your kindnesses.
This leads only to a scheming mind.
9. Don’t expect more out of life than you deserve.
Exaggerated profit-seeking leads only to foolishness.
10.Don’t complain about vexations.
This leads only to resentment and poison in the heart.
56
108 Prostrations Gatha
Shouted after each set of 25 prostrations
1.
2.
3.
4.
Great is the problem of birth and death!
Impermanence surrounds us!
Be awake each moment!
Do not waste your life!
57
The Meal Gatha
Before Meal
This food comes from the labor of beings past and present.
From this our body-mind is nourished, our practice sustained.
Gratefully we accept this meal.
After Meal
Buddha was born in the Lumbini Garden,
He attained Enlightenment at Bodhi Gaya,
He set in motion the wheel of Dharma at Sarnath,
He entered Parinirvana at Kusinara.
58
Repentance Gatha
All evil actions committed by me since time immemorial,
Stemming from greed, anger, and ignorance,
Arising from body, speech, and mind,
I now repent having committed.
Dedication of Merit
The merit gained through our Dharma activities,
We now dedicate to all beings for the alleviation of their
suffering, So that we and all sentient beings would be able
To attain our Buddhahood together.
59
The Metta (Loving-Kindness) Sutta
This is what should be done
By one who is skilled in goodness,
And who knows the path of peace:
Let them be able and upright,
Straightforward and gentle in speech.
Humble and not conceited,
Contented and easily satisfied.
Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.
Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful,
Not proud and demanding in nature.
Let them not do the slightest thing
That the wise would later reprove.
Wishing: In gladness and in saftey,
May all beings be at ease.
Whatever living beings there may be;
Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none,
The great or the mighty, medium, short or small,
The seen and the unseen,
Those living near and far away,
Those born and to-be-born,
May all beings be at ease!
60
Let none deceive another,
Or despise any being in any state.
Let none through anger or ill-will
Wish harm upon another.
Even as a mother protects with her life
Her child, her only child,
So with a boundless heart
Should one cherish all living beings:
Radiating kindness over the entire world
Spreading upwards to the skies,
And downwards to the depths;
Outwards and unbounded,
Freed from hatred and ill-will.
Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down
Free from drowsiness,
One should sustain this recollection.
This is said to be the sublime abiding.
By not holding to fixed views,
The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision,
Being freed from all sense desires,
Is not born again into this world.
61
The Golden Chain of Love
I am a link in Buddha’s Golden Chain of Love that stretches
around the world.
I must keep my link bright and strong.
I will try to be kind and gentle to all living things, and protect all
who are weaker than myself.
I will try to think pure and beautiful thoughts,
to say pure and beautiful words,
and to do pure and beautiful deeds,
knowing that on what I do now depends not only my own
happiness but also that of others.
May every link in Buddha’s Golden Chain of Love become
bright and strong, and may we all attain perfect peace.

Constitution of the Taego Order
After the introduction of Buddhism to Korea, Korean Buddhists founded a
teaching school and a Zen school, and both schools prospered throughout the Silla
Dynasty. Ultimately, these two schools split into five teaching schools and nine Zen
schools respectively, and each school established their own independent
characteristics of cultivation. Later on, however, those fourteen schools
aggressively competed with one another and many conflicts ensued. At the end of
the Korye Dynasty, though, Master Taego Bowoo promoted Ekayana (one vehicle).
As a result, Master Taego Bowoo established a unique form for Korean Buddhism.
The Cho Sun Dynasty suppressed Buddhism, and therefore, Korean Buddhism was
kept from expanding for a long period of time. Recently, however, the Taego Order
was founded based on the principles of Master Taego Bowoo, which are: the
pursuit of ultimate integration, the combination of samadhi and prajna (the ultimate
goal of Mahayana Buddhism), and educating people on the path to enlightenment.
The main concern of the Taego Order is to find a way to best fit into modern
society. We, the Sangha of the Taego Order, pursue the teachings of self-enlightenment as
well as the enlightenment of others, and we also seek to pair wise conduct with
amicable sense. Our main teachings are based on Shakyamuni Buddha’s teaching,
and we make every effort to continue his method of practice as we feel that this is
the Mission with which Shakyamuni Buddha entrusted us. Moreover, we strive to
unify our Sangha and to share with them the messages of Shakyamuni Buddha as
well as the messages of Master Taego Bowoo. We must endlessly cultivate
ourselves to share our compassion with all people in the mundane world and to
spread the Buddha-Dharma. This is our Mission. All members of the Taego Sangha should follow the constitution and the
characteristics of this order – to maintain Shakyamuni Buddha’s teaching and his
compassionate mission that manifests itself iridescently to those who are suffering.
Under the protection of Shakyamuni Buddha we, the Taego Order, proclaim great
prosperity for all beings.

Constitution of America/Europe (Overseas) Parish
The American/European Parish was founded in 2006 by the former President, Most
Venerable Un-San, of the Korean Buddhist Taego Order and by Venerable Jongmae
Park. This Parish was established in order to facilitate the inclusion of Venerable
Jongmae and his disciples into the Taego Order. As a result, a new, Overseas Parish
had to be created for the foreign Sangha and its congregations. Most Venerable UnSan, Venerable Dr. Jongmae Park and Venerable Bup-Hyon determined the format
and parameters of this newly established Parish, and the Central Council of the
Taego Order gave its approval to its existence. This Overseas Parish includes North
and South America and Europe. The members of this Parish include monks
(Bhikkhus and Bhikkunis) Dharma Instructors, and their individual congregations. Anyone wishing to become a clergy member of the Korean Buddhist Taego
Order’s Overseas Parish must complete a two year course through IBS Austria,
which is also affiliated with the Dong-Bang Buddhist University and College based
in Seoul, South Korea. Following successful completion of this course, individuals
will qualify for status as a Samanera or a Samaneri, and they will receive diplomas
signed by both the President of IBS Austria and the President of Dong-Bang
Buddhist College. Students of IBS Austria are also required to participate in semiyearly retreats on matters such as protocol and to allow for direct instruction. Failure to participate in the retreat aspect of IBS Austria will preclude students
from religious promotion.
Bhikku or Bhikkuni ordinations (known as full ordinations) may follow the
Samanera or Samaneri ordination (from any order) after a four-year period of
evaluation, presuming the candidate possesses and Associate’s Degree in Buddhist
Studies or the equivalent. The Bishop of the Overseas Parish will be elected by the Parishioners to a fouryear term (there is no limit to the number of terms that Bishop may serve). If no
qualified candidates exist, the Central Council will appoint a Bishop, and of course,
all elections are pending until the approval of the Central Council.
70
To serve as a Bishop of the Overseas Parish, one must be a priest who is fully
ordained (Bhikku or Bhikkuni), and as this is the Overseas Parish, there is not
preference as to the race, gender or ethnicity of the candidate. The Bishop of the Overseas Parish will have a Secretary-general to aid in the
execution of all internal affairs of the Parish. He or She will also have the ability to
appoint (or remove) as many Regional Directors as are necessary for the smooth
functioning of the Parish. Regional Directors will also be entitled to their own
secretaries, but appeals may be made the Central Council regarding any
appointment (or removal). Disciplinary actions as well as the meting out of rewards will follow the same
process as that of the Korean Buddhist Taego Order. In some circumstance appeals
may be made to the Central Council regarding certain disciplinary matters.
The head Temple of the Overseas Parish will be where the Bishop of the Parish
resides, though under special circumstances, the location of the head Temple may
be changed as is needed. The Overseas Parish will use the head of the Educational Department of the
Korean Buddhist Taego Order as its direct line of official contact. The Supervisor
of the Educational Department of the Korean Buddhist Taego Order is also
functions as a Secretary for the Overseas Parish.
The Overseas Parish (as of 2006) possesses six North American Districts and one
European District. These are:
U.S. Western District – California and Arizona
U.S. Central District – Missouri and Illinois
U.S. Southern District – Georgia, Florida, and New Mexico
U.S. Northern District – Michigan and Wisconsin
U.S. Eastern District – New York, New Jersey, and Virginia
Canadian District (to be divided in the future)
European District (to be divided in the future)
71
The Overseas Parish has the right to maintain its own ordination platform to
bestow the five- or ten-precepts to lay practitioners. In special circumstances, the
Overseas Parish may also ordain Dharma Instructors locally. Samanera and
Samaneri (or higher) ordinations must take place at the Supreme Ordination
Platform of the Korean Buddhist Taego Order, located in South Korea. For any matter not covered in this constitution, the regulations and procedures of
the Korean Buddhist Taego Order’s constitution are to be followed. In the event of
any conflict or disagreement over regulation or procedures, the President or Central
Council of the Korean Buddhist Taego Order will have the final word. * The contents of this constitution were determined in 2006 during discussions
over the establishment of the Overseas Parish between Most Venerable Un-San
Lee, Venerable Dr. Jongmae Park, Venerable Bup-Hyon Min, and Rev. Myong Jun
Choi. This constitution was converted to document form by Rev. Hae Joong
Maxwell. The original Korean and English versions have been sent to the
Educational Department of the Korean Buddhist Taego Order in 2006.
Signed by: Most Venerable Un-San Lee, President of Taego Order
Venerable Dr. Jongmae Kenneth Park, Bishop of Overseas Parish

Taego Order History
The Taego order is one of the largest Zen orders in the world, and is the second
largest order in Korea. We have over 3,100 Zen Temples. For example, Seonamsa
is a beautiful temple complex tucked away in the scenic mountains of Korea. It
was originally built about 1300 years ago. Depending on its location and purpose,
a temple may be home to one monk, or hundreds.
The Taego order is growing rapidly now outside of Korea under the leadership of
Ven. Dr. Park. Some of the reasons that students say they are attracted to the order
are: 1) It offers a non-sectarian Buddhist seminary program for monks and lay
teachers, 2) Both education and meditation are encouraged, 3) There is an
emphasis on taking the Dharma into local communities, 4) The seminary can be
completed online, 5) Authentic monastic and lay ordinations, recognized in Korea
and around the world, 6) Retreats are offered in multiple locations throughout the
U.S. and Canada, and Europe, 7) There are opportunities to study abroad.
The Order also allows ordained Zen (Korean: Soen) monks to marry with the belief
that a married monk can be a great asset in sharing the Dharma and in counseling
with the lay community. Currently about half of all Taego monks are married and
half of the monks are celibate (Both males and females are called “monk”, or
Sunim).
Buddhism entered Korea over 1,600 years ago. In that spiritually fertile ground,
early Buddhist thought (Theravada) was brought together with later developments
(Mahayana) into a unified path leading to freedom from suffering. Masters in
Korea were able to interact with the masters from China’s golden age of Zen, in the
Tang and Sung dynasties. These great teachings are better preserved today in Korea
than in China. Religion in general suffered a huge setback from the Cultural
Revolution and communism in China. The Taego Order takes its name from Master Taego Bowoo, who ushered in a new
era for Buddhism in his country. The various Sutra and Zen schools were brought
together under one umbrella.
73
Before Master Bowoo’s time, there were five doctrinal schools and nine Zen
schools that each strongly developed their own teachings and Sangha. Now days
most Korean Buddhists consider themselves descendants of Master Taego Bowoo,
including those in the Chogye Order.
Taego monks and lay teachers have begun spreading around the world. This is due
in part to the creation of ‘The Institute of Buddhist Studies' (I.B.S.). Prior to 2004
the order consisted almost entirely of Korean monks. This was because the Taego
constitution requires all monks to go to Buddhist College and graduate with an
extensive Buddhist education before being able to fully ordain. This made it
difficult for Westerners to become Taego Zen monks because the College and
University Buddhist studies program were only taught in the Korean language. All non-Koreans had to first learn the language and then go to school full time in
Korea for 4 years. That made for quite a challenge. This all changed with the formation of the Institute of Buddhist Studies. In 1999,
Ven. Dr. Jongmae Park, a Buddhist Director at the University of Southern
California (USC) wrote an entire Buddhist studies program. In 2007, he made the
program available as a ‘home study’ course and it was accepted as the equivalent to
taking the Taego Buddhist studies program in Korea. Thus, for the first time in the history of Korean Zen, westerners were able to be
schooled in English (and other languages) and to train as equals with Korean Taego
Zen monks in Korea after graduation. They are also trained in temple retreat
programs in the West under Ven. Dr. Jongmae Park and his senior disciples. Upon graduation, students get to travel to South Korea for a temple training
program and full Taego ordination with their Korean counterparts. People are now
taking the course from the comfort of their homes in countries throughout Europe
and North America. The training slips seamlessly into their everyday lives.
Ordained ‘Western’ Taego monks have the option to go to Korea and train in the
wonderful atmosphere of ancient temples, vibrant with modern dedication to
practice and helping sentient beings. They are warmly welcomed by their brother
and sister monks as family and as the official representatives of the Taego Order
outside of Korea.
74
Parameters of the Taego Order
The establishments of the Order are - the Founder, Lineage, Tradition, History, the
Nature of Culture, and the Current Nature. Under the umbrella of Korean
Buddhism, however, there is almost no difference between the Taego and the other
orders with regard to the Founder, the basic characteristics of theological view, the
priestly outlooks, the precepts, the ceremonies, the dress code etc. The orders of
Korean Buddhism all came from the same root. The Taego Order makes sure that
its members are equally regarded and refrains from power play. The Order follows
the harmonious theories of Master Won-Hyo and it also embraces Master Taego
Bowoo’s hope for complete integration. This is the avenue used to approach the
Buddha-Dharma.
1) Philosophy of the Liberal Order
The Taego Order avoids having the Sangha practice solely for their own benefit.
Instead, it insists upon a practice that benefits all beings. The Order inspires the
Sangha to cultivate him or herself to become Bodhisattvas who ultimately
sacrifice and share in the suffering of the mundane people. This is strongly
encouraged by the Taego Order as are any actions that help alleviate the social
problems facing people in general. Therefore, the Taego Order is the most
unique Mahayana school, for it encourages Sangha members to have families
(including monks) and this then allows for positive examples to be set for the
community at large. 2) Taego Order as a Composition of Private Temples (Formation of Order)
The Taego Order sustains historical traditions as well as preserving the original
Dharmas handed down from the Buddha. Since 1950 the Taego Order has lost
many temples to the Chogye Order, leaving it bereft of major centers of
cultivation and scholarship. This led to its reformation as a community of
smaller, private temples, which is how it still, for the most part, exists today.
Whoever acts as a founder of a private temple in the Taego Order has to
undertake certain responsibilities. For example, he or she is entrusted with the
Mission of the Taego Order, and once a temple is established, it should not be
relocated so that it might better make harmony with the community around it.
75
Moreover, it must not be segregated from the mundane world in the way a
monastery is, for it is very important that the temple be firmly connected to and on
level with the mundane world in which it rests. 3) Tradition and Property Inheritance
!
a) Inheritance from Teacher
!
b) Inheritance from Dharma Lineage
!
c) Transfer from Other Order
4) Appointment of Abbot
The Taego Order appoints a new Abbot who has inherited a temple in
accordance with paragraph 3A or at the suggestion of the temple’s founder if he
or she is still alive. 5) Acknowledgement of Privatized Temple
Except for a monastery or a temple where the property rights officially belong to
the Taego Order, all other temples remain in the possession of the founder/abbot. 6) Progressive Teaching
The Taego Order follows the tradition in which the monk is the center of the
Sangha, however, the Order does not distinguish between the clergy and the
laity. Likewise there is also no longer a distinction between the teaching school
and the Zen school. The Order pursues the unhindered Mahayana ideal to
educate the people. In terms of the precepts (sila), the Taego Order does not
follow the traditional Vinaya-Pitaka (full rules and regulations including
precepts), but instead they follow the Mahayana sila (precepts), especially
concentrating on the Bodhisattva’s Vows (to aid those in the mundane world).
Therefore, in accordance with Mahayana philosophy, all of the clergy (monks
and dharma instructors) must concentrate on the mundane world, which is one
of the reasons why the clergy is encouraged to have families. There are even
special circumstances where clergy or dharma instructors are allowed to grow
their hair, instead of being clean-shaven, in order to better interact with those
around them. In those circumstances where one is allowed to grow out his or her
hair, it makes it more practical to spread the Buddha-Dharma to certain
communities (e.g. schools and hospitals). 76
7) Marriage of Clergy (especially for monks)
According to the Dasa-Bhumika in the Avatamsaka Sutra “The Mahayana
Bodhisattva (clergy) must be fulfilled by his wife or her husband, so no looking
for other people’s spouses”, and this gives a very positive view of marriage and
the clergy. For example, Master Kumarajiva (the great translator), Tibetan
Master Millalepa, legendary Korean Master Won-Hyo (from the Sila Dynasty),
and Korea’s most beloved poet and monk, Master Man-Hae all had families. In
general, a monk who has a spouse is called “monk with wife” (Dae-CheoSeung), and an official marriage has taken place. It is also likely that the monk
has children and that the family lives in their own residence. People call the
monks of the Taego Order “Dae-Cheo-Seung” (monk with wife), but this is not
a proper word because not all monks in the Taego Order are married. 8) The System of Dharma Instruction (Kyo-Im)
Within Korean Buddhism, only the Taego Order has a system for ordaining lay
clergy members. For a person who has problems with becoming fully ordained
or a person who would not be able to handle the life of a monk, this is a
wonderful alternative to still be able to spread the Buddha-Dharma from a center
without having to take the ultimate step of becoming a monk. The Dharma
Instructor can be either male or female, any age, and any marital status.
77
Principles of the Taego Order
A) Definition of Taego Order:
Our order’s name is Korean Buddhist Taego Order
!
!
!
1. Korea – the name of the home country
2. Buddhism – a school that follows Shakyamuni’s teachings
3. Taego Order –
Since Shakyamuni Buddha expired, Masters and Patriarchs continue to transmit his
teachings through the present day. This Dharma transmission has grown
continuously over the last 1,600 years in Korea. Before 1945 all Korean Buddhist
Sanghas were descended from Master Taego Bowoo, especially the Chogye order,
which was founded at the end of the Korye Dynasty. This unified order continued
until 1954, when President Lee Seoung Man and a number of Bikkhus ordered a
separation of the Chogye order into two orders, one comprised of celibate monks
and the other of those who had families (which would be known later as the Taego
Order). The old group changed the color of the kasa to brown, despite the fact that
the traditional color of a Korean kasa was red. This was done to create a visual
distinction between the orders. After the separation of the orders, the Bikkhu
Sanghas as well as the government suppressed the Taego Order, so traditional
monks had to establish a new order that would carry the characteristics of the
original Chogye Order, including the use of the original red kasa. In 1970 a new
order was officially founded, named after Master Taego Bowoo. The Korean
Buddhist Taego Order promotes not segregation, but instead, a Buddhism that fits
the mundane world.
B) Tenets of the Taego Order:
The Tenets are the foundations of our Order, which are manifested in the
characteristics of the teachings and ideas. The Korean Buddhist Taego Order
respects the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha, especially those of selfenlightenment, teaching the path of enlightenment to others, and using wise
conduct paired with amicable sense. The Order also pursues the principles of
Master Taego Bowoo, which revolve around self-enlightenment and rescuing
suffering people in the mundane world (Taego Constitution paragraph #3).
78
Self-enlightenment refers not just to one person achieving enlightenment and then
aiding others in finding it, but instead, it refers to the sharing of the BuddhaDharma so that all beings might simultaneously achieve enlightenment and
freedom from the mundane world of suffering. Using wise conduct paired with
amicable sense means the attainment of frictionless cultivation and suffering-free
awakening.
Observing the nature and obtaining the Buddha stage refers to discovering the
Buddha nature within oneself and also to developing the Buddha seed that will
grow and choke out all ignorance and doubt. This is what we call enlightenment. Our mission is to spread the Buddha’s teaching as well as other Masters’ teachings
to disciples or mundane peoples in order to guide suffering people to the right path. 79
Taego Order Lineage and Sutras
The Taego Order’s lineage traces from Master Do-Yi (King of Hun-Duk in Silla
Dynasty) and Master Taego Bowoo (King Gong-min in Korye Dynasty) who
integrated the teaching schools and Zen schools into one amicable tradition. This
lineage continues on to Master Chung-Huh and Master Boo-Hyu (both from the
Cho Sun Dynasty). Refer to Taego Order Constitution #7. All Korean Buddhists respectfully believe that they are descendants of Master
Taego Bowoo, the only exception being one main order, which changed its lineage
to Master Bojo in 1970. Despite that order’s switch to Master Bojo, the Taego
Order’s lineage has remained authentic and constant with Master Taego Bowoo. The Characteristics of the Taego Order
The Korean Buddhist Taego Order is comprised of the Priests and the lay people
who practice the following conducts: !
a. Understanding the profound teachings
!
b. Understanding compassionate harmony
For individuals, understanding pratitya samutpada (the law of dependent
origination) and having appreciation for the wisdom of the teaching is key to
attaining prajna-samadhi. For the Order, the key is to adapt to changing times so as to stay current with that
which connects to the people, to engage in practical participation in the mundane
world, and to share in the emotional affectation of the people as well as in their
suffering. All of this participation is in order to establish the Buddhist World; this is
the main characteristic of the Taego Order. 80
The Main Sutras of the Taego Order
(According to Taego Order Constitution #4)
In the Taego Order Constitution’s fourth paragraph “this order’s main sutras are the
Diamond Sutra (Prajna-Paramita Sutra) and the Flower Ornament Sutra
(Avatamsaka Sutra)”. Individuals as well as the Order as a whole rely on these
sutras for guidance on faithful actions as well as for Dharma study. This notion of
selecting one or two sutras to focus on is unique to Buddhism, for unlike other
main, world religions that only have a handful of sacred texts, Buddhism has over
600 sacred texts. As a result, only one or two main texts can be completely
committed to the minds of the faithful in any given school. And, in fact, no
Buddhist was ever meant to understand or embrace every sutra, for each teaching
of Shakymuni Buddha was dedicated to a different mind set and was specific to the
person with whom he was talking. Therefore, a Buddhist need only search out that
which applies to himself or herself and that which resonates with his or her being. The Diamond Sutra teaches a bold wisdom (prajna) that aims at the attainment of
enlightenment and states that whoever passes beyond the threshold of emptiness
(sunyata) can approach the boundary of Bodhisattvahood. Many Patriarchs and
Zen Masters use the Diamond Sutra in order to educate mundane people on how to
avoid excessive attachment. The Flower Ornament Sutra (Buddhavatamsaka Maha Vaipulya Sutra) teaches that
the whole is selfless (sarva-anatman). Therefore, whoever understands the notion
that all existence has no self, is in tune to the law of pratitya-samutpada and the
continuous cycle of rebirth in which nothing is permanent. Despite this apparent
focus on immaterialism, however, the true focus of this sutra is on the DharmaDhatu (our universe) and it underscores the unhindered nature of all things.
Ultimately, it attempts to teach the individual how to incorporate this unhindered
existence into his or her everyday life in this world. The Taego Order depends upon these utmost sutras as guidance for obtaining the
ultimate stage (nirvana). 81
