This is a translation of the fourth Joseon king Sejong’s Worin cheon’gang-ji gok, which celebrates Śākyamuni Buddha’s life and praises his merits. The work is valuable in the study of linguistics as it uses the early form of Hunmin jeongeum (Proper Sounds to Instruct the People). It is also regarded as the gem of Buddhist literature with the harmony of religion and literature. Its title is an analogy of the teaching of the Buddha preached to the sentient beings to the moon reflected in a thousand rivers. As the Prince Suyang (the later King Sejo) composed and submitted the Seokbo sangjeol 釋譜詳節 (Abbreviated and Particularized Account of the Life of Śākyamuni) in 1447 that describes the life, previous lives, and teachings of the Buddha, King Sejong changed it into verses. The Worin cheon’gang-ji gok was published in three volumes in 1449. It was published again with the Seokbo sangjeol under the title of Worin seokbo 月印釋譜 (The Moon Reflected and the Biography of the Buddha). Only 194 cantos in the first volume and some cantos in the second volume of the Worin cheon’gang-ji gok have survived. It is thought that there were approximately 580 cantos in total in three volumes. Now, there are approximately 440 cantos that include cantos from the Worin seokbo. It gives a vivid depiction that the Buddha descended from Tuṣita Heaven; he was born and raised as crown prince; he cultivated practice and attained awakening after leaving the palace through four excursions; and finally he taught sentient beings and passed away. The appendix of this English translation includes the original images of the first volume of the Worin cheon’gang-ji gok.

This project was designed to introduce the intellectual heritage of Korean Buddhism to all over the world by selecting representative works of Korean Buddhist tradition in various fields and publishing them in English. For a six-year period from 2018 to 2023, the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism supervised the project with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and has been publishing ten representative Buddhist works in English. Buddhism has been the central axis of Korean culture and thought for thousands of years, and has exerted considerable influence to the present. Buddhism, which originated in India and settled here in Korea via China, maintains both local particularity and global universality. Various works on philosophy, history and culture of Korean Buddhism need to be published to introduce the originality and excellence of Korean Buddhism to the world. The Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism previously published The Collected Works of Modern Korean Buddhism(2017): English translations of carefully selected Korean Buddhist works as part of the Globalization Project of Korean Buddhism. Succeeding and further developing upon the previous undertaking, this project aims to inform the world of Korean Buddhism, which not only served as an indispensable spiritual asset for Korean people but also provided them with the locus of universal discourse. The ultimate goal of this project is to expand the worldwide base for Korean studies, promote the globalization of Korean Buddhism, and improve the “brand equity” of Korean tradition.

This volume presents the fruits of an extended dialogue among American and Chinese philosophers concerning the relations between virtue ethics and the Confucian tradition. Based on recent advances in English-language scholarship on and translation of Confucian philosophy, the book demonstrates that cross-tradition stimulus, challenge, and learning are now eminently possible. Anyone interested in the role of virtue in contemporary moral philosophy, in Chinese thought, or in the future possibilities for cross-tradition philosophizing will find much to engage with in the twenty essays collected here.

Explores the resources for contemporary ethics found in the work of the Cheng brothers, canonical neo-Confucian philosophers. Yong Huang presents a new way of doing comparative philosophy as he demonstrates the resources for contemporary ethics offered by the Cheng brothers, Cheng Hao (10321085) and Cheng Yi (10331107), canonical neo-Confucian philosophers. Huang departs from the standard method of Chinese/Western comparison, which tends to interest those already interested in Chinese philosophy. While Western-oriented scholars may be excited to learn about Chinese philosophers who have said things similar to what they or their favored philosophers have to say, they hardly find anything philosophically new from such comparative work. Instead of comparing and contrasting philosophers, each chapter of this book discusses a significant topic in Western moral philosophy, examines the representative views on this topic in the Western tradition, identifies their respective difficulties, and discusses how the Cheng brothers have better things to say on the subject. Topics discussed include why one should be moral, how weakness of will is not possible, whether virtue ethics is self-centered, in what sense the political is also personal, how a moral theory can be of an antitheoretical nature, and whether moral metaphysics is still possible in this postmodern and postmetaphysical age. This book presents the philosophical ideas of the Cheng brothers intelligently, convincingly, and powerfully. It is among the best books ever written on the Cheng brothers, including works in the Chinese language.
