The article is devoted to the figure of the Buddhist mentor Pojo Chinul (1158–1210), his place in the Buddhist tradition of Korea and his concept of instant enlightenment ton-o-jeom-su. The personality of the mentor Pojo Chinul had a significant influence on the development of Buddhism in Goryeo, forming a set of rules for Buddhist monasteries, contributing to the formation of the largest Buddhist order in Korea – Chogye. Along with Master Wonhyo (617–686), he is one of the most revered Buddhist masters of medieval Korea. We consider his concept of instant enlightenment ton-o-jeom-su, as well as the stages of formation of this state and the reflection of the influence of Chinese Chan Buddhism.
