Daigak Guksa

(born 1055, Korea—died 1101, Korea) Korean Buddhist priest and introducer of Ch'ont'ae (Chinese Tiantai) Buddhism to Korea. He became a monk at age 11 and studied in China. On his return to Korea, he promoted the doctrines of Ch'ont'ae, which attempted to reconcile the two main Korean sects, the Kyo (textual) and the Son (Chinese Chan, Japanese Zen; contemplative). The introduction of Ch'ont'ae stimulated the reorganization of the Son school and the development of its Chogye order, which became the main order of Korean Buddhism. Daigak Guksa collected and published 4,750 books of Buddhist scriptures and a catalog of sectarian writings.
