	Korean Buddhism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buddhism in Korea remained subdued until the end of the Joseon period, when its position was strengthened somewhat by the Japanese occupation, which lasted from 1910 to 1945.
		When Buddhism was introduced to Korea in the 4th century CE, the Korean peninsula was politically subdivided into three kingdoms: Goguryeo in the north, Baekje in the southwest, and Silla in the southeast.
		The general trend of Buddhism in the latter half of the Goryeo was a decline due to corruption, and the rise of strong anti-Buddhist political and philosophical sentiment.

	Traditional Korean thought - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Korean Buddhism consists mostly of the Seon lineage, which is derivative of the Chen(Zen) Buddhism of China.

		Buddhism came to Korea from north China in the latter half of the fourth century C.E. Each of the three kingdoms into which the Korean peninsula was divided embraced the new religion.

		Some Korean Christians are very zealous and use every opportunity to bring others to their faith, be it elementary school teachers ridiculing non-Christian children in classrooms or Christian officers ordering of baptism for new military draftees as "moral education," for instance.

		Korean monks still observe about 180 days of retreats practicing ganwhaseon during which they sit and meditate with a specific question in mind called the "hwadu" or Zen koans.

		The Korean peninsula is known throughout the world for the stark bifurcation between the communist North and the capitalist South.
