This study took a look at the crossing the border into Liadong in the early Joseon Dynasty, which has nearly not been paid attention to in the history of the Buddhism in Korea, and the Chinese, Buddhist whereabouts of Monk Mangong and Jeokhyu, the periodical, Buddhist priests. Regarding the large-scale, Buddhist oppression measures of King Taejong in the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty and King Sejong, the Buddhist circle did not not respond helplessly, but, rather, it had made the resistance on its own way. Especially, the Naonghyegeum of Jogyeseonjong and the disciple affiliates of Taegobowu had stood out. The disciples of Bowu had mainly hit the Sinmungo or had advocated the self-purification of Buddhism. And the disciple affiliates of Naong either had reorganized the Buddhist circle with Muhak in the center or had opposed the suppression. And, by receiving the help of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they had intended to protect the Buddhist circle, or they, also, crossed the border into Liadong. Although, while attempting the crossing the border into another territory, they were arrested like the sea ships, like Mangong of King Taejong and Jeokhyu of King Sejong, they succeeded in crossing the border into another territory, and they left the clear whereabouts in the Chinese, Buddhist circle. Mangong was one Buddhist monk among the 11 Buddhist monks who crossed the border into Liadong during the King Taejong. After crossing the border, Mangong had moved again from Beijing on a sea route and had settled for after going into a mountain in the Zen sect at the Tienchieh temple in Nanjing. Meanwhile, he had been close to the Joseon Dynasty, and he relocated to Mount Taishan, where there had been the history, thereby rebuilding the Chikurin Temple and the Buchauchan temple and widely publicizing the Buddhism. During the time of King Sejong, by crossing the border into Liadong together with a total of 10 Monks, including the Buddhist monks Shinnae, Shinhyu, Shindam, Hyeseon, Hongjeok, Haebi, Shinyeon, Honghye, Shinwun, etc., under the protection by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing, Jeokhyu went through Shanhaiguan and had moved to the Tienchieh Temple in Nanjing. Although their whereabouts can not be known, on the Guji Mountain in Beijing, Jeokhyu founded the Banyaseonsa Temple nearby the Ryeongamseonsa Temple, where the clergy and the laity of the Goryeo Dynasty had resided and, especially, where Naong and the disciples of Muhak etc. had stayed. As such, the Buddhist monks in the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty had either resisted the suppression by the country or crossed the border into another territory. Mangong and Jeokhyu of the times of King Taejong and King Sejong had led the Chinese, Buddhism circle, had rebuilt the Buddhist temples, and had contributed to the development of the Chinese Buddhism.

본고는 한국 불교사에서 거의 주목되지 않은 조선초 요동 월경과 월경승 滿空과 適休의 중국 불교행적에 대해서 살펴보았다. 조선초 태종과 세종대의 대대적인 불교탄압 시책에 대하여 불교계가 속수무책으로 아무런 대응을 하지 않은 것이 아니라 불교계 나름대로 저항을 하였던 것이다. 특히 조계종의 나옹혜근과 태고보우의 문도 계열이 두드러졌다. 보우의 문도들이 주로 신문고를 치거나 불교의 자정을 주창하였으며, 나옹의 문도 계열은 무학을 중심으로 불교계를 재편하거나 탄압에 맞섰으며, 明의 황제의 도움을 받아 불교계를 수호하고자 하거나 아예 요동으로 越境하기도 하였다. 월경을 시도하다가 海禪처럼 체포되기도 하였으나 태종대 滿空과 세종대 適休처럼 월경하여 중국 불교계에 뚜렷한 행적을 남기기도 하였다. 滿空은 태종대 요동으로 월경한 11명 가운데 한 고승으로 洪道・洪因 등과 함께 하였는데 무학의 문도이자 나옹의 문손인 듯하다. 나옹의 문도인 듯한 만공은 월경후 북경에서 다시 해로로 이동하여 금릉 金陵 天界寺에 주석하다가 조선과 친근하며 유서가 있는 山東 泰安으로 이주하여 竹林寺와 普照禪寺를 중창하면서 불법을 널리 홍포하였다. 適休는 세종대에 승려 信乃와 信休·信淡·惠禪·洪迪·海丕·信然·洪惠·信雲 등 총 10명과 함께 요동으로 월경하여 북경에서 명 황제의 보호속에 산해관을 거쳐 금릉 天界寺에 이주하였다. 그후 그들의 행적은 더 알 수 없으나, 적휴는 북경 穀積山에서 고려 승속이 거주하였던, 특히 나옹과 문도 무학 등이 머물렀던 靈巖禪寺 근처에 般若禪寺를 창건했다. 이와같이 이와같이 조선초 승려들은 국가의 탄압에 저항하거나 월경하였는데 태종과 세종대 만공과 적휴는 중국 불교계를 유력하면서 사찰을 중창하며 중국불교의 발전에 기여하였다.
