Basic Meaning: Jeong-o

Senses:

  • (d.u.) An eminent Cheontae 天台 master from the late Goryeo dynasty, also known as Muoe 無畏. A disciple of the National Preceptor Wonhye 圓慧. While Jeong-o was studying at Baeg-un am 白雲庵 in Irwolsan 日月山 he was visited by the king who asked him to serve as the abbot of Myoryeonsa 妙蓮寺. In 1306 he was given the title, Baekwollanggong Jeokjo muae daeseonsa 白月郞空寂照無碍大禪師, and the following year he was appointed as wangsa 王師 with the additional title, Buril Bojo Jeonghye Myowon Jingam guksa 佛日普照定慧妙圓眞鑑國師. He was later given another title, Seongyo gakjong sanmun dobanchongseop jejo 禪教各宗山門道伴摠攝提調, by the new King Chungseon, and in 1310 he was asked to move to Gukcheongsa 國淸寺 to serve as its abbot. As the new abbot, he renovated the golden hall and presided over the construction of a new Śākyamuni icon flanked by two bodhisattvas. Obeying his fatherʼs wishes, King Chungsuk appointed Jeongo guktong 國統 and gave him a new title, Ssanghong jeonghye gwanghyeon wonjong muoe guktong 雙弘定慧光顯圓宗無畏國統. [Juhn Ahn]
