(2) Dongsa yeoljeon is the collection of the biographies of 198 eminent monks from the period of the Three Kingdoms to late Joseon that Beomhae Gagan of Daeheungsa Monastery, Haenam, Jeollanam-do, compiled. This book selects forty-eight of them, focusing on the successors of the Taego 太古 dharma lineage and the Pyeonyang branch of late Joseon. (3) Jogye goseung jeon records the biographies of ninety-seven monks after Bojo Jinul, thirty among of whom this book selects, focusing on the Buhyu lineage monks with Songgwangsa as their head monastery in late Joseon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an attempt to reconstruct an elusive aspect of the medieval Chinese imagination, The Eminent Monk examines biographies of Chinese Buddhist monks, from the uncompromising ascetic to the unfathomable wonder-worker. While analyzing images of the monk in medieval China, the author addresses some questions encountered along the way: What are we to make of accounts in “eminent monk” collections of deviant monks who violate monastic precepts? Who wrote biographies of monks and who read them? How did different segments of Chinese society contend for the image of the monk and which image prevailed? By placing biographies of monks in the context of Chinese political and religious rhetoric, The Eminent Monk explores both the role of Buddhist literature in Chinese history and the monastic imagination that inspired this literature.
