Last century, there was a sort of revolution named as Jeng-Wha Movement within the korean buddhist order. This movement is occurred to make a clean sweep of japanese buddhist manners in the korean buddhism. Also the subjects are succeeded in going against the stream of secularism in the korean buddhism led to by modernization. In this respect, this movement can be characterized by the evolutionary and reactionary movement. In this paper, We did analysis and interpret the results of this movement. The findings are as followed. First of all, by this movement the korean buddhism have been subjugated to the korean government up to this day. Although this movement did contribute to the identification of Jo-order, the largest sect among the korean buddhist sects, this is result of the government-dependency by which this movement can clean sweep members of Dae-cher(帶妻) from the Joge-order. Second, this movement is a cause to give rise to the conflicts within the Joge-order in 1970s. Actually Jong-jeng(宗正), who are the only supreme and symbolic leader in Joge-order which have a tradition of zen buddhism, did have a important role in the process of this movement. During the 1970s, there is a series of the conflicts between Jong-jeng and Chon-mu-won-jang(總務院長), who is supreme administrator, and these was caused by this movement. Although Jeng-wha movement is actually ended, today the korean buddhism is situated in a crossroad in which the korean buddhism will be lied in the Procrustean Bed(modernization) or will remove the bed itself. After-all, today korean buddhism seem have a difficulty problem to resolve.
