The '''Gyeyul''' ({{Ko-hhrm|hanja=戒律宗|hangul=계율종|rr=Gyeyuljong}} and Yul jong 律宗, or [[Vinaya]] in Sanskrit) school, founded by the Korean monk '''Gyeomik''' who went to India in 526 CE to learn [[Sanskrit]] and study the Vinaya, is the [[Korea]]n name applied to a branch of [[Buddhism]] that specializes in the study and implementation of [[śīla]] (yuljang 律藏) the ''"moral discipline"'' or ''""Buddhist ethics"''. It derives directly from the Indian ''Vinaya School''.<ref>The Buddhist Religion: a historical introduction. [[Richard Robinson (Buddhism scholar)|Richard H. Robinson]], Willard L.

When Baekje, which is one of the [[Three Kingdoms of Korea]], the translated text and the Gyeyul monastic order were lost.<ref name=geom1/> <br />

Vinaya monk [[Jajang]] (590–658 CE), born in [[Silla]] as a [[bone-rank system|true bone]] (jin'gol) aristocrat, revived the Gyeyul order and built the [[Woljeongsa]] temple in 643 of [[Jogye Order]] of Korean Buddhism on the eastern slopes of [[Odaesan]] in Pyeongchang County. In 641 CE, Jajang and his disciple Seungsil travelled to [[Tang dynasty]] China where he received bone relic of Buddha's crown, [[Śarīra]] relics and an [[Kasaya_(clothing)#Jiāshā_in_Chinese_Buddhism|honorary robe]]. He also visited [[Yunju Temple]] where he stayed until his return to Silla in 643 CE.<ref name=geom2>Gim Yeongsu, 2016, [https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=E5lEDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT65&dq=Gyeyul+%2B+Gyeomik&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjRr8GYgOTtAhVBbysKHeJpAnYQ6AEwAHoECAAQAg#v=onepage&q=Gyeyul%20%2B%20Gyeomik&f=false Sheaves of Korean Buddhist History: Joseon Bulgyosa], Korean Buddhism Library.</ref><br />

== History ==<br />
<br />
When Buddhism first came to [[Baekje]] in 384, it was introduced by a [[Serindia]]n monk named [[Marananta]], Buddhism was quickly embraced but largely unknown. So, a Korean monk named Gyeomik (겸익, 謙益) was sent to India to bring back more information. He is said to have traveled to India via the southern seas, studied Sanskrit and then came back to Baekje accompanied by another Indian monk, Paedalta (Vedatta?) and with many texts on the [[Vinaya]] and [[Abhidharma]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Buswell|first=Robert E.|title=Tracing Back the Radiance: Chinul's Korean Way of Zen|year=1991|publisher=University of Hawaii Press|isbn=0824814274|pages=5, 6}}</ref> Gyeomik translated these texts into Korean along with help from his disciples Tamuk and Hyerin and thus founded the Vinaya School in Korea.<br />
