Haedong Goseungjeon (Lives of Eminent Monks of the Land East of the Sea) Complete in one volume The oldest collection of monks' lives that survives in Korea. Gakhun made it in 1215 at the king's command, sixty-six years before the Samguk Yusa. It carries the lives of eighteen men — Sundo, the first to come to Goguryeo; Malananta, who crossed over to Baekje; Yeomchok, from whose severed neck white milk is said to have sprung in Silla; Wongwang, who set out the five precepts for the world; and Ariyabalma and Hyeeop, who stayed at Nalanda and ended their days there. How King Jinheung raised up the wonhwa and established the hwarang is set down here as well.
