	Jogye Order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism (JOKB) is a monastic order of syncretic Seon Buddhism and serves as the largest denomination of Buddhism in Korea.
		It was established in 1354 in the late Goryeo Dynasty, as a means of uniting all of the various factions of Buddhism which were abroad in Korea at that time.
		The numerous temples of the Jogye order are arranged under 24 "head temples." The head temples each oversee a district (gyogu), containing a large number of subordinate temples.

		In the incumbents-led Chogye Order, some facial change of leadership took place, the erstwhile administrative leader, Song Wǒlchu, stepping down – of course, in favor of his closest associate.
		But, among the general decline of social influence and popularity, one new tendency clearly emerged among the Buddhist monastic community, especially inside the celibate Chogye Order which controlled more than 90% of the temples: influx of tourist and “political” money made several leading temples extremely rich, and the post of their abbots highly coveted.
		It was Song Wǒlchu, whose dismissal was urged by the dissident PRC in 1998 and 1999 and whose stubborn desire to handpick his successor provoked the ugly clashes.

	Buddhism—Korea History \| ema_01_package.xml
		The Chogye order, the largest denomination in Korea in the twenty-first century, shares with the T'aego order, the second largest, the mutual acceptance of doctrinal, meditative, and Pure Land traditions.
		The only major difference between the two denominations, which together claim the allegiance of the vast majority of Korean Buddhists is that the T'aego order allows its clerics to marry while the Chogye order insists on celibacy.
		The Chogye and the T'aego orders, though they are the products of a relatively recent split between the 6,500 clerics who were married in 1945 and the 500 who remained celibate despite Japanese pressure, nevertheless represent continuity with the centuries of nonsectarian Buddhism oriented toward monastic life.
