초록

The Vinaya Pitaka is a universal ethical rule oriented
from common good of mankind as well as a guiding principle
in the practicing of Buddhist ethics. This studies that the
Vinaya Pitaka is the operational principle of samgha based
on Buddhism and the actual proof of an effort to make
harmony with a Buddhist community and general social
relationship. In the view of dependent origination, life
and environment is interdependently open to each other.
Buddhist perspective on life focuses on ‘how’ to be valuable
rather than the ontological rule such as ‘what’ it is. In the
angle of dependent origination, life is co-existent, human
being is equalized through the principle of non-self, andthen, it practices mutual compassion based on those.
In this study, it examined a standpoint toward life and
environment through the Vinaya Pitaka. According to
the severe precept of the Fourfold Rules of Discipline(四
分律), precept of non-killing human beings tells us that
human should not be killed in any case and should not use
any methods to myself and others with killing intention.
If breaking this, the practitioner will be exiled from the
Buddhist community. In addition, the application of nonviolence
ranges from human being and animals to insects
and it is an active practice of life reverence. Then, there
is life in all natural environments so it prohibits to dig in
the ground and to destroy vegetation. Also, it prohibits to
do any violence, to see the army and to watch a war in the
standpoint of active non-violence, therefore, it is against
the power and structural violence to practice non-violence
actively.
In the view of life reverence and practice of compassion
in the Vinaya Pitaka, it examined the practice of precepts
considering life and environment. First of all, it mentioned
interpretation of the Vinaya Pitaka and modern practice
of traditional Korean Buddhism in the aspect of modern
application of Buddhist precepts. Then, it examined a
vegetable diet culture in the view of practicing of lifeculture, living and harmonizing with all life. It suggested the
start of mutual living and livelihood from violence and taking
life through dissemination of a vegetable diet. Moreover, it
required active opposition to a vicious circle of all violence
and systemic violence and its culture structuralized, and
active practice of life ethics. It looked into the social service
system for structural practice of non-violation. It also
suggested that for contradiction of a Left-home practitioner’
s duty, observing the Buddhist commandment and a national
obligation, and for open-minded social agreement accepting
the minority’s opinion and practice of compassion. It could
be the chance of an earnest agony for vivid practice of the
Vinaya Pitaka giving vividness to life and environment and
directing to true life through co-existence and harmony.
Because no other value is above life and no other advantage
is greater than peace.
