Wikipedia's community maintained article on Seongcheol gathers, with citations, his 1937 ordination, his ascetic practice, his tenure as Supreme Patriarch of the Jogye Order from 1981 to 1993, and his role reforming Korean Buddhism in the postwar era. Its strength is breadth across his biography and teaching; a contested claim about a specific doctrinal position should be checked against dedicated Korean Buddhist studies scholarship rather than resting on this page alone.
