| Abstract | In Buddhism, bowing is the greatest show of respect a person can make to the Buddha or the teacher. The custom of taking three steps came to signify the shedding of the three poisons as well as a method of cultivating blessings and lessening our sickness, sufferings and misfortunes, so that getting reborn in the Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land can be more promising. By analyzing the history and practice of protesters in Korea, it is clear that violence can be replaced by essentially non-violent Buddhist practice which aims to reach the Pure Land. In Korea, there have been large scale violent movements which were effective at changing the oppressive military junta. But non-violence stops the decline of the social movements. The Korean people had criticized the violent historical movements and turned down their participation until the Samboilbae was effectively and collectively practiced. With the strong commitment of the non-violence and newfangled forms of power, people began to participate in the Samboilbae movement against the Saemanguem Land Reclamation Project. |
