the Preface and first page:

This volume was sponsored by and created under the
auspices of the mainstream Jogye Order of Korean
Buddhism and Dongguk Buddhist University, and is
an attempt to get the terminology of Korean Buddhism
"right" and to make semi-official standards for how it is
expressed in English. The new and improved system
of Romanization is used, so that the terms correspond
with those used on official Korean websites and in all
up-to-date scholarship and journalism about Korea.
