Paper Summary:

This paper details Korean Buddhist thought, philosophy and the various stages of evolution. The author explains how Buddhists were first introduced to Korea and the difficulties they encountered settling and adapting to their new environment as well as the many contributions this ancient religion gave and continues to give to the society of Korea.

From the Paper:

"Historically speaking, the people of Korea have been greatly influenced by Buddhism in their spiritual aspects. Buddhism which as I mentioned before was conveyed into Korea came to play the role of defending a country. There were priests who achieved very important state in many political affairs. Even during the war, they didn't only pray for the peace but also tried to fight against the enemies as soldiers directly. Many Korean treasures which are highly valued, are almost all Buddhism works such as various minute Buddha statues, great towers, beautiful temples and so on."
