Abstract
I try to make the meaning of T'oe-gye's dwelling place clear through his poem named 'Wanak-je (玩樂齋)'. We can see that the meaning of dwelling for T'oe-gye is to stay in the state of '敬' and to get at '理'. All of our wisdom is hold in '敬', and it superintends our '心'. When we stays in the state of '敬' for a long time, inner place and outer place are interpenetrated each other. At that time we can realize ourselves, and all things reveal their own original character. At the same time the ideal dwelling place is realized by getting at '無極而太極' that is both transcendental and immanent.
