| Graduate School of Buddhist Studies was established in 1991 on
the Seoul Campus for the purpose of cultivating professionals and
leaders in the field of Buddhism through education and research of
the applied areas centering on Buddhism. Compared with the master’s
and the doctor’s courses at other general graduate schools which focus
on academic research, the Graduate School of Buddhist Studies is a
special school for evening lectures and is for priests and Buddhists.
It is the educational organization specialized in Buddhism with the
courses for masters, researchers, and leaders. |

During the last 2,500 years since Buddha’s
teachings were spread to the world, Buddhism has been developed as
a system of thought that has both methodology as an ascetic excercise
and trust as a religion. Appropriating the modern academic methodology,
the study of Buddhism has constructed its academic area as a religion
and philosophy which has perspicacity and visions of human beings
and Buddha. It is a science that systematically and logically researches
Buddha’s teachings, and realizes the ideal society of Buddhist character
and land. The Buddhist Studies is divided into three areas - Buddhist
Studies, History of Buddhism, and Applied Buddhism. In the Graduate
School, specialized lectures of each major and cultural lectures of
Buddhism are opened every semester, which are performed by the University’s
full-time professors and outside lecturers whose distinguished scholarships
are recognized by the Buddhist world. At the very beginning of the
21st century, the age of uncertainty, Korean Buddhism is sincerely
required to change its thinking paradigm. Corresponding to this demand
in the age, in order to cultivate leaders of Buddhism who will lead
the future of the Buddhist land, the Graduate School of Buddhist Studies
is carrying out "Open education for Cham Saram (true person)"
so that all the people can participate regardless of age, sex, nationality,
and religion. |
