The Jogye Order, officially the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism (대한불교조계종, 大韓佛敎 曹溪宗), is the representative order of traditional Korean Buddhism with roots that date back 1200 years to the Late Silla National Master Doui, who brought Seon (known as Zen in the West) and the practice taught by the Sixth Patriarch, Huineng, from China around 820 CE. The name of the Order, Jogye, was adopted from the name of the village where Patriarch Huineng's home temple, Nanhua Temple, is located (Chinese: 曹溪; pinyin: cáo xī; Korean: 조계; romaja: Jogye).[1]
The Jogye became a distinct school in the late 11th century when the monk Jinul sought to combine the direct practices of Korean Seon with the theological underpinnings of sutra-based Buddhist schools and with Pure Land Buddhism.[2]
In 1994, the Jogye order managed 1725 temples and 10,056 clerics and had 9,125,991 adherents.[3]
The international Kwan Um School of Zen is a Jogye school founded by Seon Master Seungsahn, 78th Patriarch, who received dharma transmission from Seon Master Gobong.
