책소개
한국인이 창도한 세계적인 불교인 원불교를 영문으로 쉽게 소개하고 있는 책이다. 원불교는 잘 알려진 것처럼 20세기 초 박중빈이라는 천재적인 종교가에 의해 세워졌다. 박중빈은 기존의 불교를 계승하되 그 불합리한 점을 개선해 새로운 한국형 불교를 만들었다.
그가 개혁한 점을 들어보면, 우선 원불교에서는 그 교당에 불상이라는 ‘우상’을 더 이상 모셔놓지 않는다. 대신 진리의 상징으로서 원을 모신다. 그래서 원불교라 불린다. 승려의 독신제도도 타파해 적어도 남자 승려들은 결혼할 수 있게 했다. 교당도 기존의 절처럼 산간이 아니라 도심에 위치하게 해 사람들의 접근을 용이하게 했다. 교전도 어려운 한문이 아니라 쉬운 한글로 교체했다.
이 책은 이러한 점과 더불어 원불교의 교주인 소태산 박중빈과 그의 제자인 정산 송규의 일생에 대해 상세하게 다루고 있다. 소태산이 원불교를 열었다면 정산은 원불교를 반석 위에 올려놓아 원불교가 오늘날 한국의 4대 종교의 반열에 오를 수 있게 만든 장본인이다.

책소개
This book is about new Korean Buddhism called "Won Buddhism" which was created by a religious genius named Chungbin Park (Sot'aesan) in 1916. Park innovated traditional Buddhism in the following various ways. First, Won Buddhists do not worship Buddha statues any longer, but instead enshrine circle (Il-Won-Sang) as a symbol of the Truth. That is why this Buddhism is called Won Buddhism ('won' means circle in Korean). Secondly, celibacy system of traditional Buddhism is no longer valid in this Buddhism. But it should be noted that only male minister can marry, not female minister! Thirdly, we can find many Won Buddhist temples in the cities, whereas traditional Buddhist temples are located in deep mountains. The fourth characteristic of Won Buddhism is that canons of this Buddhism are written in easy modern Korean, while those of traditional Buddhism are mainly in difficult classical Chinese. This book may be remembered as the first easy introductory book in English on Won Buddhism.
