| Summary: | This article shares the author's research in Korean Buddhism and his approach to the study of history, as he emphasises the continued relevance of seemingly distant (both historically and geographically) topics for the modern world. He exhorts readers to trust in the "messianic potential" of past religions and to consider ways in which the study of historical religions can challenge our preconceptions today. |
