This presentation will provide an overview of important themes and figures of Korean Buddhism as it has evolved since the Three Kingdoms to the contermporary period. After a brief introduction to Buddhism I will focus on Wonhyo and Chinul, two of the most important of Korean Buddhists and their major ideas. It is at this point where I will zero in on what is unique to Korean Buddhism. I will close by referring to two poets and a film to show Korean Buddhism's lasting influence.
