Editing Han Yongun (section)

== Writings ==

* ''Chosŏn Pulgyo Yusinnon'' [On the Reformation of Korean Buddhism] (written 1910; published 1913). {{annotation|Han's foundational reform treatise, arguing that Buddhism's principle of universal equality anticipated modern liberal internationalism and calling for monks to enter productive labor and the money economy; contains the single, still non-political use of the term "sahoejuŭi" (socialism) in Han's corpus.}}
* ''Pulgyo Taejŏn'' [Great Compendium of Buddhism] (1914). {{annotation|A vernacular Korean-language digest of Buddhist scripture, intended to make canonical teaching accessible outside the monastic elite as part of Han's broader program of Buddhist popularization.}}
* Articles in ''Yusim'' [Mind Only] (1918, journal, co-edited with Yang Kŏnsik). {{annotation|A short-lived Buddhist youth journal through which Han and other reformist intellectuals debated Buddhism's place in a modernizing, and increasingly nationalist, Korean society.}}
* "Pulgyo esŏ naega mitnŭn kŏt" [The Buddhism I Believe In]. ''Kaebyŏk'' (March 1924). {{annotation|Reframes Buddhist "universal love" through the language of Kropotkinian mutual aid and defends Buddhism against the charge of "idealism" via a Yogācāra argument that mind and matter are mutually inclusive.}}
* ''Nim ŭi Ch'immuk'' [The Silence of the Beloved] (1926). {{annotation|Han's most celebrated poetry collection, fusing anticolonial nationalist longing with the register of romantic devotion; not a directly political text, but foundational to his reputation and widely read as an allegory of a colonized nation awaiting its "beloved," independence.}}
* "Sahu ŭi saengmyŏng" [What Happens with Life after Death?]. ''Samch'ŏlli'' (August 1929). {{annotation|An interview using the Mahāyāna doctrine of "form is emptiness" to argue for the metaphysical equality of all beings and things.}}
* "Sŏkka ŭi chŏngsin: kija wa ŭi taehwa" [Śākyamuni's Spirit: Dialogue with a Journalist]. ''Samch'ŏlli'' (November 1931). {{annotation|Han's most explicit statement on "Buddhist socialism," invoking early Buddhist communalism and Śākyamuni's criticism of private accumulation, and announcing his intention to write a systematic account of the concept, which was never completed. The term is introduced by the interviewer's question rather than volunteered by Han, and his replies to more pointed questions about systemic economic reform or revolutionary action are notably evasive.}}
* "Kongsanjuŭi wa pan-chonggyo sasang" [Communism and Anti-religious Ideal] (1938). {{annotation|A lengthy essay surveying Stalinist religious persecution in the USSR, arguing that such campaigns are self-defeating because religious belief is rooted in human nature and that Communism itself functions as a substitute religion.}}
* ''Han Yongun Chŏnjip'' [Complete Works of Han Yongun], 6 vols. (Seoul: Sin'gu Munhwasa, 1973). {{annotation|The standard posthumous scholarly edition of Han's collected writings (frequently cited in the secondary literature as "HYC"), compiling his essays, treatises, poetry, and correspondence.}}
