Wonhyo is indisputably the greatest Buddhist exegete produced by the Silla kingdom's Buddhist tradition.
Wonhyo and Uisang, who were most influenced by T'ien-t'ai and Hua-yen doctrines as we have seen, however, had created "new" type of synthesis whereby all the doctrines were given equal importance.
In one of Wonhyo's principal works devoted to his syncretic philosophy, Simmun Hwaiaengnon (Ten Approaches to the Reconciliation of Doctrinal Controversy), Wonhyo states that his fundamental intent is to harmonize the differences that characteriz the various schools of Buddhist philosophy and merge their views into two all-inclusive perspectives.

 Buddhism in Korea
Wonhyo (617-686) stands at the pinnacle of Korean intellectual history as a thinker embodying the particular characteristics of Korean Buddhist thought.
According to Wonhyo, if one could merely awaken to the fact that all phenomena are produced from the mind, all doctrinal disputes would become meaningless.
Wonhyo therefore emphasized the "harmonization of disputes," meaning that one could only approach truth by putting a stop to conflict.

 Korean Buddhism at AllExperts
The monk Wonhyo taught the "Pure Land"-practice of yeombul, which would become very popular amongst both scholars and laypeople, and has had a lasting influence on Buddhist thought in Korea.
Wonhyo's commentaries were very important in shaping the thought of the preeminent Chinese Buddhist philosopher Fazang, and Woncheuk's commentary on the Saṃdhinirmocana-sūtra-sūtra had a strong influence in Tibetan Buddhism.
As was the case in Tang China, as well as the Nara and early Heian period in Japan, which are roughly contemporary to the Silla period, the intellectual developments of Silla Buddhism also brought with them significant cultural achievements in many areas, including painting, literature, sculpture, and architecture.

Looking at the paucity of works written in Silla Korea before Wonhyo, it is no exaggeration to say that it was Wonhyo who created the scholastic tradition of Silla Buddhism.1 The vast majority of Wonhy's works are explicitly commentaries, and even those writings that are not commentaries are still strongly exegetical in character.
In his virtuosity at manipulating the commentarial form, Wonhyo may be viewed not simply as a paragon of Korean scholarly achievement but as someone who was emblematic of the highest achievements of the Sinitic Buddhist tradition as a whole.
Wonhyo's friend)isang wrote but two or three shorter exegeses contemporaneously with Wonhyo, but Wonhyo still remains by far the earliest, and most prolific, of Silla's Buddhist exegetes.

 Wonhyo - Galbijim
With his life spanning the end of the Three Kingdoms period and the beginning of the Unified Shilla, Wonhyo played a vital role in the reception and assimilation of the broad range of doctrinal Buddhist streams that flowed into the Korean peninsula at the time.
In 661 he and a close friend - Ui-sang (625–702, founder of the Korean Hwaom school) - were traveling to China where they hoped to study Buddhism further.
He was a colleague and friend of the influential Silla Hwaom monk Ui-sang, and an important result of their combined works was the establishment of Hwaeom as the dominant stream of doctrinal thought on the Korean peninsula.

 Wonhyo's Conception of the Pure Land and Popular (Grass-roots) Buddhism in Korea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The popular tradition of Buddhism in Korea is inseparable associated with the cults of Amitabha and Maitreya, often co-identified peculiarly as the Pure Land faith by some advocates and analysts of the modern grass-roots movements.
Clearly discernible in Wonhyo's interpretation of the sutras is his comprehensive, holistic pattern of thought found penetrating thoroughout his writings.
Also by emphasizing the other-worldliness of salvation, Wonhyo remains faithful to the spirit of the scriptures and the doctrines as developed by the Chinese Buddhists, as the overstress of this worldliness may, for one thing, overshadow the religious dimension of the Buddhist faith.
