A prince of Goryeo's King Munjong and the National Preceptor Daegak. He studied in Song China, collected over three thousand Buddhist texts, and revived the Cheontae school.

Cultural Journey
How cultural experiences shaped this figure's life
As the fourth son of Goryeo's King Munjong, he mobilized royal scholarly resources to devote his life to collecting and organizing the Buddhist textual legacy of East Asia. After studying in Song China in 1085, broadening his learning through debate with scholarly monks on Huayan and Tiantai doctrine, he returned with over three thousand Buddhist texts. This was not personal reading but the importation of knowledge on a national scale.
He held to the principle of gyogwan gyeomsu — the simultaneous cultivation of doctrinal study and meditative observation. He refused to separate reading from practice. In his three-volume catalog 'Sinpyeon Jejong Gyojang Chongnok,' he organized the scattered commentaries and texts of each Buddhist school into a single system.
This collection and compilation led to the establishment of the Gyojang Togam and became the foundation for publishing the Sokjanggyeong. A single monk's range of reading drove the entire publishing enterprise of Goryeo Buddhism. His more than one hundred works, including the 250-volume 'Seokwon Sarim,' are the product of a cycle: reading and rewriting, writing and re-engraving.
