Jogye Order
Encyclopedia : J : JO : JOG : Jogye Order
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 Kwan Um School of Zen, founded by Zen master Seung Sahn, claims to be a Western off-shoot from the Jogye Order. [#endnote_kwanum1]
