Pojo Chinul (1158-1210) is considered a great harmonizer of the conflicting Buddhist trends in the late Koryŏ period. Although diverse philosophical and soteriological aspects of his texts have been examined, the Hwaŏmnon chŏoryo, a seminal text that demonstrates his effort to mitigate the tension between the Son and Kyo schools, has not been given due scholarly attention. By revealing the drawbacks in previous scholarship on Chinul, this article emphasizes the importance of a correct understanding of Li Tongxuan's (635-730) Xin huayan jing lun, the primary text that exerted an enormous influence on the formation of Chinul's thought. Chinul's text, however, sometimes omits the rich symbolism as represented in Li's text. Moreover, the Hwaŏmnon chŏoryo does not adopt indigenous philosophical frameworks for the explication of the Flower Garland Sutra as introduced in its source text Xin huayan jing lun. Chinul, instead, faithfully accommodates Li's fundamental philosophical and soteriological theses in this abridged text. Although Chinul does not accept every detail of Li's exegesis and his text shows the characteristics of selective abridgement, he has a critical attitude toward the contemporary Buddhists just as Li does. This attitude may explain his adoption of this "unorthodox" text which was written by a layman and disregarded by both of the mainstream Son and Kyo schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
