This book is the English translation of the 10th Century¡¯s detailed commentary on the Beopgye-do ÛöÍ£Óñ (the Dharma Realm Diagram) composed by the 6th Century¡¯s Korean Buddhist Master Uisang, the founder of the Korean Hwaeom school. As one the earliest among Gyunyeo¡¯s works, this book illustrates the early stance of his Hwaeom philosophy quite well. Not only is the book the most systematic study-guide for the Beopgye-do, but also a detailed document demonstrating how Uisang¡¯s Hwaeom philosophy was grasped by the Buddhist thinkers of the Unified Silla and Early Goryeo periods. In this book, Gyunyeo supports the opinion that Zhiyan influenced on Uisang¡¯s writing this bansi, a kind of poetry written in a circular arrangement which has the Chinese characters written at the beginning connected to the Chinese character written at the end by way of many right-angle turns, so that it needs to be read by turning the page clockwise, and mentioning a controversy on whether Uisang wrote both of them or not, Gyunyeo argues that Uisang wrote both, on the basis of biographical essays by Choe Chi-won. This English edition contains the photoprints of the original text, the early 20th Century transcription of 1287 woodblock print of the the Ilseung beopgye-do Wontong-gi collected by Dongguk University, which will be a great valuable material for the scholars on Ancient Korean Buddhism.
