The Jogye Order, officially known as the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, (대한불교조계종, 大韓佛敎 曹溪宗), is the leading order of traditional Korean Buddhism, with roots dating back 1,200 years to the Late Silla period. Around 820 CE, National Master Doui introduced Seon (Zen in the West) and the teachings of the Sixth Patriarch, Huineng, from China. The order's name, Jogye, originates from the village where Huineng's home temple, Nanhua Temple, is located.(Chinese: 曹溪; pinyin: cáo xī; Korean: 조계; romaja: Jogye).[1]
The Jogye Order rose to prominence in the late 11th century when the monk Jinul combined the direct practices of Korean Seon with the theological foundations of sutra-based Buddhist schools and Pure Land Buddhism.[2]
By 1994, the Jogye Order oversaw 1,725 temples, 10,056 clerics, and had 9,125,991 adherents.[3]
The international Kwan Um School of Zen, a Jogye school, was founded by Seon Master Seungsahn, the 78th Patriarch, who received dharma teachings from Seon Master Gobong.
