The purpose of this article is to examine the identity politics of Won-Buddhism in Korea. So far, many researchers have claimed that Won-Buddhism is a modernized form of Buddhism or a new religion. However, I take the view that Won-Buddhism has formed layered identities as both Buddhism and new religion, through the politics of religious identity.
Based on this perspective, in chapter 2(‘Religious identities of Won-Buddhism’), I revealed the multi-layer dimensions of Won-Buddhists’ identities, examining the history of Won-Buddhism, And, I argued that Won-Buddhism can be regarded as a modernized form of Buddhism or as a new religion.
In chapter 3(‘Controversy between a modernized form of Buddhism and a new religion’), I examined the research trends on identities of Won-Buddhism since the 1970s. Looking at these trends, the researches of the first type have exposed the differences between Won-Buddhism and Buddhism, and have emphasized Won-Buddhism as a new religion. By contrast, the researches of the second type have exposed the similarities between Won-Buddhism and Buddhism, and have emphasized Won-Buddhism as a modernized form of Buddhism. These trends were made because multi-layer dimensions of Won-Buddhists’ identities.
Finally, in chapter 4(‘Won-Buddhism and Identity politics’), I examined the identity politics as Won-Buddhism. Here, I pointed out that Won-Buddhists, though they did not participate in Association of Korean Buddhist Orders since the mid-1970s, have worked in Buddhist association since 1948, not only in the pan-religious coalitions since 1962. As a result, Won-Buddhists could obtain various institutional interests through their identity politics.
In summary, Won-Buddhists have formed multi-layer religious identities in their historical experiences, and Won-Buddhism could have existed between a modernized form of Buddhism and a new religion through its identity politics. And Won-Buddhism has obtained institutional interests at the similar level with Buddhists organizations. Considering these aspects, we can assume that multi-layer identities of Won-Buddhism will continue in the future.
