Kyŏmik (겸익) (born in the fifth century AD) is a Korean Buddhist monk, founder of the School of Wine.

At the beginning of the sixth century he traveled by sea to India. It was during the reign of the Chinese emperor Wu (502-549) of the Liang dynasty. He came to Central India where he stayed in the Changqin Monastery (probably Sangana-mahāvinaya-vihara). He studied Sanskrit for 5 years and mastered it completely. He also studied Winaya deeply.

He returned to Paekche in 526, together with Tipitaki Vedatta (Paedatta). He brought with him the Abhidharmapitaka and five versions of Winai, but none of them are known.

From the whole country 28 South Korean scholars and in the monastery of Hŭngnyun were translated Winaya in 72 volumes, nominated as Pŏmbon adamjang obuyulmun (Sanskrit text winai abhidharma consisting of five parts). The students of Kyubi Tamuk and Hyein (Hyerin?) Wrote extensive commentary in 36 volumes and the effect of their work was presented to the king. King Sŏng wrote the introduction to both Abhidharma and Winai. These texts were sent to T'aeyo Hall for storage. The king wanted to copy the writings and send them around the country, but his death did not allow for these plans.

The translation of kymikaka has not survived to our times. Bibliography
