Minjung (the Oppressed) Buddhism in the Context of Korea

Minjung Christianity and Minjung Buddhism in Korea focuses on global peace and religious conflicts, and furthermore on the new liberalism, ecological and environmental concerns, women, poverty, the global empire war and other issues. For these, all religions have diversity, openness and comprehensiveness with neighbour religions. Minjung theologians and church leaders expect to create a new theological paradigm on the view of the Minjung, the oppressed. First of all, Christianity has to overcome the dualist thought (the good and the evil) of Western Europe which raises the conflicts and opponents according to its power. It is time to need to look through the eye of Minjung from Asia, Africa and South America of Global South. We can see that religion has to rely on not the ruling class or ruling ideology, but on the Minjung in case of Anglican Church of Korea during Japanese imperialism period, 1910-1945 in Korea.
